Derek McInnes's tenure as Rangers manager has descended into early-season turmoil after the Light Blues were dumped out of the Europa League qualifiers by Jagiellonia Bialystok.

The 38-year-old Northern Ireland international joins the West of Scotland League Second Division outfit from Johnstone Burgh following a major investment wave driven by rock star and multi-millionaire businessman Paul McManus.
