Premier League outfit West Bromwich Albion parted ways with manager Tony Pulis on Monday after almost 3 years since the former Stoke City boss arrived Hawthorns.
Saturday’s 4-nil home loss to Chelsea served as the final nail in the coffin for Pulis, and the club are now looking for someone capable of stirring them to safety having dropped to 17th on the log.
West Brom could turn to Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes according to reports, and that would ultimately see Rangers miss out on their top managerial target.
The Dons boss has been the favorite candidate for the job since the Light Blues fired Pedro Caixinha almost 4 weeks ago, but compensation fee is said to be a big hurdle.
West Brom won’t have any issues meeting the demands of Aberdeen and McInnes should they decide to bring their former skipper back, and it’s why Rangers might miss out on him.
The Ibrox outfit will eventually have to settle for other options if the Premier League side swoop on their man, and they could be left to rue their lateness to make a concrete approach for McInnes.
