Rangers to hold talks with Hearts' McInnes over replacing Röhl

Rangers will hold talks with Derek McInnes about replacing Danny Röhl.

Gers have made a formal approach to Hearts to speak to their head coach with current boss Röhl on the verge of joining RB Salzburg.

McInnes, a former Rangers player, previously knocked back the chance to manage the club in 2017. The 54-year-old led Hearts to second place in his first season at Tynecastle, as they missed out on the league title to Celtic on the final day of the campaign.

Salzburg are said to be keen to appoint Röhl as Daniel Beichler's replacement in Austria. Sky Sports News have previously reported that any possible deal would need to meet Rangers' terms, as Röhl has two years left on his contract at Ibrox, having joined the club last October.

Röhl took over from Russell Martin, with the team sixth in the league and led them into the title race before falling short towards the end of last season.

The Rangers players return for pre-season trianing next week.

Chairman Andrew Cavanagh and chief executive Jim Gillespie are in Boston and will watch Haiti against Scotland at the World Cup.

Hearts chief executive Andrew McKinlay is also at the match as part of a Scottish FA delegation in his role as Scottish FA vice-president.

McInnes is also on his way to the game after his close-season holiday in America.
