What happened: Reports say contracts have been agreed for Rangers head coach Danny Rohl to leave for RB Salzburg, with Hearts manager Derek McInnes lined up to take charge at Ibrox as his replacement. Both moves are characterized as done deals, though talks over the German's switch are said to be continuing. Neither club has officially confirmed the appointments.

Why it matters: A managerial change at Rangers reshapes the Ibrox dugout heading into the 2026 campaign, with McInnes arriving from a domestic rival in Hearts. Rohl's reported departure to RB Salzburg would end a short stint in Scotland and open a vacancy that the club appears ready to fill immediately.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation from Rangers, Hearts, and RB Salzburg, and for clarity on the timing of Rohl's exit and McInnes's arrival.
