Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers reportedly want Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes as the Gers manager.

Rangers legend Ally McCoist has suggested that Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes should not take the managerial job at Ibrox, as quoted by The Scottish Sun.

According to The Scottish Sun, Aberdeen boss McInnes is a managerial target for Rangers.

It has also been reported that Premier League club West Bromwich Albion are interested in securing the services of the 46-year-old former Rangers midfielder.

McCoist has suggested that it is not the right time for the former Scotland international to take charge of the Ibrox outfit.

The 55-year-old is a Gers legend, having played for the club in the 1980s and 1990s before managing the first team from 2011 until 2014.

“I just feel that Derek, at this moment in time, is held in high regard throughout British football,” The Scottish Sun quotes McCoist as saying.

“I just think from Rangers’ point of view, it would be my appointment. I’m not sure from Derek’s point of view it’s 100 per cent the right thing to do.

“The circumstances of taking the manager’s job at Rangers, it’s certainly a far better place than when I was there managing. But I still don’t think it’s the perfect time to manage the club.”

Rangers are fourth in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 24 points from 13 matches.

The Gers are nine points behind leaders and Old Firm rivals Celtic and three points behind second-placed Aberdeen.

Graeme Murty is in charge of the Rangers first team for the time being.
