As of June 17, 2026, there are no verified reports that Derek McInnes is about to become Rangers manager. The article from BBC Sounds, titled 'Listen: Will Clarke drop Shankland? What will McInnes bring Rangers?', appears to be a speculative discussion rather than a breaking news story.
The podcast episode, hosted by Jonathan Sutherland with guests Rory Loy and Tony Docherty, likely explores hypothetical scenarios about Rangers' managerial future. However, no official announcements or credible leaks have been confirmed regarding McInnes' appointment.
Derek McInnes is currently the manager of Kilmarnock, having taken over in January 2022. He previously managed Aberdeen from 2013 to 2021. Rangers' current manager is Philippe Clement, who has been in charge since October 2023. There is no public evidence of a change in Rangers' management as of today's date.
