Rangers boss Derek McInnes details summer signings and squad reshuffle

Rangers manager Derek McInnes has overseen six new signings this summer and says further recruitment will require the club to off‑load existing players. With 28 first‑team members on the books, including ten central midfielders, McInnes indicated that players such as John Souttar and Danilo may depart to free up space. Potential targets mentioned include Tromsø midfielder Jens Hjerto‑Dahl, Partizan Belgrade youngster Vanja Dragojevic and possibly Lewis Ferguson, while the future of World Cup star Nico Raskin remains uncertain. The club’s board, represented by CEO Jim Gillespie and chairman Andrew Cavenagh, has pledged continued financial support for the rebuild, although McInnes acknowledges the need to balance the budget.

The appointment of McInnes, a former West Brom player and long‑time Rangers supporter, has been praised by insiders who cite his strong Premiership record. New signing Dan Neil, arriving from Sunderland, is highlighted as a player capable of handling the league’s demands, reflecting McInnes’s confidence that the refreshed squad can challenge for the title.
