Rangers have made McInnes ‘manager’ as opposed to the previous ‘head coach’ position, suggesting he will have more of a hands-on approach to matters beyond the training pitch than some of his predecessors.<\/p>\n

When asked about his role in recruitment, the Rangers boss said he is part of a collaborative process with technical director Dan Purdy, sporting director Stig Inge Bjornebye, the board and the recruitment staff.<\/p>\n

He and his assistants will identify the key positions that need strengthened, the recruitment staff will get to work, and there will be ongoing discussions.<\/p>\n

But ultimately, the final call will rest with him.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been given assurances that every player we sign will come down to me (making) the final decision,” McInnes explained.<\/p>\n
