West Bromwich Albion are reportedly considering Rangers target Derek McInnes, amid links to the Ibrox club.
According to The Scottish Sun, West Bromwich Albion are considering bringing Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes back to the club as a replacement for Tony Pulis.
The Baggies lost 4-0 at home to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, meaning they have now won just twice in the last 21 Premier League games under Pulis.
Disgruntled fans are now calling for Pulis to be sacked, and reports suggest that the Baggies are now lining up potential replacements for the Welshman.
The Scottish Sun now report that the Baggies are plotting a move for Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes, which would hand the Scot a surprise return to The Hawthorns.
McInnes, 46, joined West Brom as a player way back in 2000, making 100 appearances for the club whilst even captaining the Baggies to promotion to the Premier League in 2002.
The former midfielder has impressed as Aberdeen boss since landing the job in April 2013, claiming three consecutive second-placed finished whilst boasting a win rate of 58%, and he may now be in line for a return to West Brom in a surprise move.
Such a deal would leave Rangers in a peculiar position, given that McInnes is the favourite to land the Ibrox job, following Pedro Caixinha’s sacking last month.
Additionally, The Telegraph claim that Rangers want Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill, only for The Mirror to state that West Brom are interested in him too, meaning the Gers may be left targeting whichever boss the Baggies don’t land – unless they move quickly.
