Derek McInnes' new Rangers backroom staff revealed

Derek McInnes has been officially unveiled as the new manager at Rangers, replacing Danny Rohl at Ibrox.

The 54-year-old joins Rangers from Scottish Premiership rivals Hearts after he led the Edinburgh outfit to a surprise title challenge last season.

McInnes is a lifelong Rangers supporter and has been awarded a three-year contract at Ibrox, where he will be expected to immediately challenge Old Firm foes Celtic for honours next season.

Rangers have announced that McInnes will be joined in Glasgow by two members of his backroom staff at former club Hearts, along with an intriguing third coaching hire from another Scottish Premiership rival.

Alan Archibald, Paul Sheerin & Craig Clark join Ibrox project

Alan Archibald & Paul Sheerin have followed McInnes from his time at Kilmarnock to the Scottish capital with Hearts, and now the pair will once more link up with him as part of his Rangers backroom staff.

Archibald is a Glasgow local and a club legend down the road at Partick Thistle, where he spent the majority of his playing career and managed to the Scottish Championship title in 2013.

Former Arbroath boss Sheerin also makes the move from Tynecastle to Ibrox with McInnes, the 51-year-old was a former Celtic academy player but crosses the Old Firm divide in his new job.

The third man joining McInnes in the Ibrox dugout is Craig Clark, who is a long serving member of the Kilmarnock coaching setup, moving through the age ranks before being promoted to first team duties by McInnes during his stint at Rugby Park.

Clark is a highly rated young coach who, unlike his new colleagues Archibald & Sheerin, didn't have playing career and coached at Killie from the age of 17.

The trio join the Ibrox dugout replacing outgoing head coach Danny Rohl's backroom staff, who are moving to join the German at RB Salzburg in Austria.

Sascha Lense and Tristan Steiner are departing with Rohl, however goalkeeping coach Sal Bibbo and set-piece coach Scott Fry are expected to remain at Ibrox under McInnes.
