“One of the reasons I went to Aberdeen was because I was wanting to work with Derek McInnes, because of what he’s done for Aberdeen, what he’s done in the past.

“I had a few chats ฝากเงิน sbobet with him before I signed and I was extremely impressed with what he had to say, what his beliefs were on football and his vision for the future.

“For me, hands down, he would be my number one target for Rangers.

“He’s a fantastic manager, he’s done extremely well with the resources he’s had at Aberdeen and he’s been very successful in his time at Aberdeen.

“He’s a Rangers man, he knows the club, he knows the demands of the fans, the expectations, the pride of that badge and what it takes.

“Is it the time for him to leave? Is it a mess at Rangers? Does he have money?

“But sometimes you only get one opportunity to go to a big club - it might never happen again due to different circumstances.

“Rangers have got to get it right and if that means spending money to get Derek McInnes out of his Aberdeen contract they’ve got to do it.

“They shouldn’t rush into it, they should take their time and ฝากเงิน sbobet get the right man. Whatever it costs, they have to get this right.”
