A three-year deal has ben agreed for the 54-year-old to take over at Ibrox and an announcement to that effect is expected imminently, as is one on Danny Rohl's exit as he moves on to take over at RB Salzburg.

McInnes wants both of them to follow him again as he makes the move along the M8.

Both have been managers in their own right, Sheerin at Arbroath and Falkirk and Archibald at Partick Thistle. Both are key members of the incoming Rangers boss' team, and he regularly credited their input as he won multiple manager of the month awards last season, and manager of the year at the end of it.

Craig Clark was due to leave his coaching role at Kilmarnock to join McInnes at Hearts and could also now be part of the new team a Ibrox.
