Former Rangers scout Ewan Chester has told The Daily Record that Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes is the ideal manager for Rangers.

Rangers are on the lookout for a new manager following the recent departure of Pedro Caixinha.

Caixinha was dismissed by the Ibrox outfit due to a run of disappointing results in the Scottish Premiership this season.

McInnes is a former Rangers midfielder and is doing a brilliant job at Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen at the moment.

According to The Evening Express, Rangers are interested in appointing McInnes as their new manager.

“He’d be ideal as the next Rangers manager,” Chester told The Daily Record about McInnes. “He’s the best option by a country mile and ticks all the boxes.

“He has served his apprenticeship and can’t take Aberdeen much further. He’s ready for the next stage in his career and has the personality to succeed at Ibrox.”

Aberdeen are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 26 points from 11 matches, just a point behind leaders Celtic, who are firm favourites to win the league title again this season.

Meanwhile, Rangers currently find themselves fourth in the standings with 21 points, a point behind third-placed Hibernian, who have played a game more.
