Why Derek McInnes is culprit number one as Rangers miss out on Mikey Moore transfer
Derek McInnes could possibly be one of the biggest reasons Mikey Moore isn't returning to Rangers.
The Scottish manager took the reins from Danny Rohl at the Gers earlier this summer, but has failed to make a mark so far.
There's already talk among a section of the fanbase over whether the 55-year-old head coach is the right person to lead the Light Blues.
McInnes desperately needs someone like Moore at Ibrox, but the Tottenham Hotspur youngster is closing in on a move to FC Koln.
The former Hearts boss might have played a significant role in the Glaswegian outfit's failure to re-sign the 19-year-old Englishman.

Why Andrew Cavenagh must now be regretting Derek McInnes appointment
It looked like the Gers were more than happy to part ways with Rohl after how last season ended and appoint McInnes.
Andrew Cavenagh may now be having second thoughts about his decision, with the Scottish manager winning just three of his opening eight games in charge of the Light Blues.
The Glaswegian outfit were first knocked out of the Europa League by Jagiellonia Bialystok and then by Jablonec from the Conference League.
With no European prospects in Govan this season, it's easy to see why some players wouldn't fancy a move to G51.
Moore was being heavily linked with a return to Ibrox, but the noise subsequently faded.
According to Sky Sports on 31 August, the Spurs youngster is now set to join Koln on a season-long loan, with the winger excited about the move to Germany.
What Rangers fans are looking for after Mikey Moore exit
Moore needed some time to settle in at Rangers, but ended up establishing himself as the fan favourite.
The Tottenham loanee was the only one who consistently provided a creative spark for the Gers last season.
Moore wasn't fazed by the physicality of Scottish football and was a constant threat for the opposition defences.
Speaking about the young winger after his performance against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League in 2024, James Maddison said, "He was brilliant. He demanded the ball. Fearless. That young, fearless mentality."
That fearlessness is what fans in G51 embraced.
The Ibrox faithful are looking around now and see no one with the adequate desire to push the team ahead.
Findlay Curtis has a big season ahead of him and all eyes are now on him to replicate Moore's heroics.
