Craig Clark has been named as part of Derek McInnes’ Rangers backroom staff after the club confirmed the new manager’s support team at Ibrox.
Rangers announced McInnes as men’s first-team manager on a three-year contract, with the former Ibrox midfielder returning to the club from Heart of Midlothian.
The same update confirmed that Alan Archibald, Paul Sheerin and Clark will join McInnes in Glasgow.
That gives the new Rangers manager a familiar coaching group before pre-season work begins.

Rangers confirmed the staff details in their official Derek McInnes appointment announcement.
Chairman Andrew Cavenagh also described McInnes as the figure the club needs at this moment.
