BRENDAN RODGERS has backed Derek McInnes after knocking back the poison chalice that is the Ibrox job.

Derek and Aberdeen humiliated The Rangers board this week when Ibrox fans expected him to be named as their new manager but instead opted to stay with the second best club in the country.

When asked, Brendan backed The Dons boss.

In modern football you’re going to have numbers of jobs with that being the way it works,” said Rodgers. “But what I think you can’t discard – and maybe that’s what Derek has thought about – is happiness.

“Sometimes you’re doing well at a club and people tend to think you should move. I certainly know now from my experiences that that can never be the case.

“If you’re doing well in your job then it’s ok to keep doing well. You should never feel you have to move or you have to change job. But if you feel there’s another challenge for you then of course you would think about it.”
