Derek McInnes has confirmed Lawrence Shankland will be the new Rangers captain.

The Ibrox boss has announced the decision ahead of the Scottish Premiership curtain-raiser against Dundee United on Friday night.

Shankland joined Rangers this summer from Hearts and was reunited with manager McInnes as he also made the journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

Cammy Devlin also moved to Rangers from Hearts in the off-season.

Shankland succeeds James Tavernier in wearing the captain's armband for Rangers after the defender left upon the expiry of his contract in the summer.

The former Hearts captain had worn the armband for Rangers in pre-season.
