The World Cup might be taking centre stage, but the build-up to the new Scottish Premiership season has already started.
Celtic ended the previous campaign in dramatic fashion, beating Hearts on the final day and sending them back to Tynecastle in tears.
Now, Derek McInnes has left Hearts to join Rangers, following Lawrence Shankland’s move to Ibrox, but it’s not bothering Mark McGhee.
The former Celtic man hit the nail on the head, and is probably saying what many Hoops fans think, and that’s the fact that he is ‘happy’ McInnes is the new Rangers boss after he finished second last season.
Should Celtic fans be delighted Rangers are turning to Derek McInnes?
Or are we underestimating him?
Second-placed expert Derek McInnes becomes Rangers manager
Over the course of his managerial career, McInnes has secured a second-place league finish five times – four times with Aberdeen, and once at the helm of Hearts.
A perfect fit for Rangers because they have been used to that for many, many years now.
Although last season, despite those at Ibrox spending £40 million last summer, they still managed to finish third in what was supposed to be a two-horse title race.
Just as everyone saw with Russell Martin before a ball was even kicked, and later with the premature title talk surrounding Danny Rohl, there is always a massive amount of noise coming out of Rangers before the real work begins.
But as McGhee explained perfectly on talkSPORT, the new man in the Rangers dugout just doesn’t know how to win the title, just like their current players themselves.
“As a Celtic supporter, I am looking at it and thinking about what Rangers are doing,” said McGhee. “They are getting a manager who nearly won the league, so I am quite happy as a Celtic supporter.”
