Rangers<\/a> head coach Danny Rohl has agreed a deal to take the vacant position at RB Salzburg, and Hearts boss Derek McInnes is in line to replace the German at Ibrox.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Rangers board publicly backed Rohl after a run of four consecutive league defeats ended their title challenge and sparked doubts over the German among fans.<\/p>\n

The former Sheffield Wednesday manager had got Rangers back into the William Hill Premiership title race after a slow start to the season under Russell Martin.<\/p>\n

But their post-split collapse – coupled with two cup defeats to Martin O\u2019Neill\u2019s Celtic – left Rohl needing to prove himself to the Rangers support.<\/p>\n

Rohl has worked within the Red Bull stable before, beginning his coaching career under the tutelage of Ralf Rangnick at RB Leipzig and working as assistant to Ralph Hasenhuttl.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano revealed over the weekend that the Gers have almost secured a replacement already, with a ‘deal done’ and only the formal steps left to complete.<\/p>\n

McInnes, a boyhood Rangers supporter, turned down the opportunity to manage the Ibrox club while in charge of Aberdeen in 2017.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old, loosely linked with the Gers vacancy last October, has been at Hearts for a little more than a year after making the move from Kilmarnock.<\/p>\n

The majority of the Rangers squad are due to report for pre-season on June 22, with their Premiership campaign kicking off on the first weekend of August.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Shankland has already made the move from Tynecastle this summer, and McInnes may not be the last arrival either.<\/p>\n

\n Rangers eyeing deal for Hearts star Braga
\n <\/h2>\n

Indeed, McInnes is keen to bring Claudio Braga with him to Ibrox, fending off rival interest from Celtic, Football FanCast sources understand.<\/p>\n

The Hoops have been linked with Braga for months<\/a>, but the incoming manager is hoping to deal a blow to both of Rangers’ title rivals by snatching the Portuguese attacker from under their noses.<\/p>\n

It would be a serious statement of intent from the Gers if they can hijack one of their rivals’ best players from the clutches of another, but he won’t come cheap.<\/p>\n

Hearts refused offers in the region of \u00a35m for their star man in January, and there is a feeling they would demand a fee in the region of \u00a38-10m to let him go this summer.<\/p>\n

Rangers’ record fee stands at \u00a312m<\/a>, but there is reason to believe the 26 year-old is worth pushing the boat out for.<\/p>\n

Braga played pretty much every attacking position on the pitch for Hearts this season, starring up front, on both wings and behind the striker as a number ten, scoring 17 times and providing six assists.<\/p>\n
