PLENTY MORE FISH IN THE SEA FOR RANGERS

Kevin Thomson insists missing out on Mcinnes is not a disaster for Ibrox club who remain a major draw for managers

Iwrote in a column last month that I had some doubts Derek Mcinnes was the right man for Rangers. For whatever reason, he has decided not to speak to the club.

I respect his decision. He has done well so far at Aberdeen. He did well at St Johnstone but not so well at Bristol City. He has come back up the road and done well at Aberdeen – but I do think he has done well in circumstances that have helped him to do well at Aberdeen. He did not have Rangers, Hearts or Hibs in the league for a period of time.

I don’t know if a feeling in his gut told him the circumstances are not quite right for him to go back to the club. But in my view there is never a wrong time to take the reins at Rangers if you really believe in yourself.

You can only go with what Dave King said at the agm about how they backed Pedro Caixinha and the new manager will be backed like any other Rangers manager. The chairman seemed to be saying that regardless what was spent in the summer, the new manager will be backed as well.

To me it looked as through he was insinuating there would be at least £10 million to spend on new players because that is what Pedro spent.

Rangers should have a list as long as their arm of managerial candidates – they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, it’s one of the best jobs in the country. I understand those down south with big reputations demand big bucks, the same as players. But I do think there are candidates out there who would not cost Rangers an arm and a leg
