Rangers manager Derek McInnes has been speaking to the media for the first time since his appointment.
Here are the key points:
- Becoming Rangers boss was a "very special" moment for McInnes and his family and something he has always wanted to do.
- He feels "ready" for the job and is well aware of the responsibility being Rangers manager brings having supported and played for the club.
- Rangers fans have "suffered" for the past 15 years with just one league title and his job to change that as quickly as possible, starting this season.
- The call from Rangers was a "surprise" when it came during his holiday. Considering how much he enjoyed his spell at Hearts he said he had "a lot to consider" but he has made the right decision.
- On his style of play, McInnes says his aim is to create a Rangers team that will "impose ourselves on the opposition" and ensure there is a fear factor for opposition teams at Ibrox.
- Signings will be "collaborative" but he has been assured he will have the final say on incomings and outgoings.
- The club need to use their budget "wisely" but work is under way to recruit players, plus McInnes feels he and his staff can get more from the current squad.
