Rangers will hold talks with Derek McInnes about replacing Danny Röhl.
Gers have made a formal approach to Hearts to speak to their head coach with current boss Röhl on the verge of joining RB Salzburg.
McInnes, a former Rangers player, previously knocked back the chance to manage the club in 2017. The 54-year-old led Hearts to second place in his first season at Tynecastle, as they missed out on the league title to Celtic on the final day of the campaign.
Salzburg are said to be keen to appoint Röhl as Daniel Beichler’s replacement in Austria. Sky Sports News have previously reported that any possible deal would need to meet Rangers’ terms, as Röhl has two years left on his contract at Ibrox, having joined the club last October.
Röhl took over from Russell Martin, with the team sixth in the league and led them into the title race before falling short towards the end of last season.

Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh promises the Ibrox squad will be revamped as head coach Danny Rohl is backed, despite finishing third.
The Rangers players return for pre-season trianing next week.
Chairman Andrew Cavanagh and chief executive Jim Gillespie are in Boston and will watch Haiti against Scotland at the World Cup.
Hearts chief executive Andrew McKinlay is also at the match as part of a Scottish FA delegation in his role as Scottish FA vice-president.
McInnes is also on his way to the game after his close-season holiday in America.
What about summer transfers?
Rangers have already begun a club-led summer rebuild with the likes of new CEO Jim Gillespie, executive director Fraser Thornton, technical director Dan Purdy, and consultant Stig Inge Bjørnebye working with the coaching team to add to the squad.
Scotland international Lawrence Shankland was the first confirmed signing, joining from Hearts on a two-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
He moved from Tynecastle to Ibrox upon the activation of a clause in his deal that saw him move for free, having scored 20 goals in all competitions last season.
Rohl’s coaching career so far
Röhl began his coaching career at RB Leipzig, where he progressed to assisting Ralph Hasenhuttl before following him to Southampton in 2018.
He then became assistant manager to Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich in 2019, helping the club win the Bundesliga and Champions League in 2020.
In October 2023, he became a manager for the first time, guiding Sheffield Wednesday to Championship safety, having inherited a side that earned just two points from their first 10 games and then guided them to 12th in his second season before leaving.
He moved to Ibrox last October and finished third in the Scottish Premiership. Rangers were knocked out of the Scottish Cup at the quarter-final stage and the semi-finals of the League Cup.
