Rangers have finally confirmed the departure of head coach Danny Rohl to Red Bull Salzburg ‘by mutual agreement’ – paving the way for Derek McInnes to join the Ibrox club from Hearts.
The 37-year-old German, who replaced the hapless Russell Martin last October, will take charge of the Austrian Bundesliga outfit after a seven-figure compensation package was agreed between the clubs.
Chairman Andrew Cavenagh had backed the manager publicly last month to lead Rangers into the new season. That position appeared to change quickly.
Cavenagh said: ‘I’d like to thank Danny for his service and commitment to Rangers.
‘He and his staff put in a significant amount of hard work during his time in charge, which we are greatly appreciative of.

‘We wish them the best of luck moving forward.’
Rohl looks set to be succeeded by Hearts boss McInnes.
‘A further update from the club on the vacant position will follow in due course,’ a statement read.
Performance manager Sascha Lense and first-team analyst Tristan Steiner will also depart Ibrox.
