Derek McInnes Rangers prospects handed boost after Alex Ferguson Ibrox development
Derek McInnes may have been handed a boost to become Rangers manager after Sir Alex Ferguson bought a property near Ibrox.
Philippe Clement has come under serious pressure as Gers manager in recent weeks, with the recent defeat against Aberdeen being the final straw for some supporters.
This has seen multiple managers linked for the potentially soon-to-be-vacant role in the dugout, with a return for Steven Gerrard mooted after facing criticism in Saudi Arabia [Football Scotland].
Another name linked as a replacement for the Belgian is Kilmarnock boss McInnes, who may have been handed a fresh boost in the race to become Rangers boss.
