As a player

By 1995 he had played 221 league games for this club, scoring 19 goals. Greatest successes were the promotion from the second to the first division in 1995 and reaching the finals in the Scottish League Challenge Cup 1992/93 which was lost to Hamilton Academical . In August 1995, McInnes moved to the Glasgow Rangers for a transfer fee of £ 300,000 . With the Rangers he was only used sporadically in the four seasons he stayed with. He was seen in the squads of the various seasons as a supplementary player for the regular staff around Jörg Albertz , Ian Durrant , Ian Ferguson , Paul Gascoigne , Brian Laudrup , Stuart McCall , Oleksij Mychajlytschenko , Charlie Miller and Trevor Steven . Nevertheless, he won as part of the teams in 1996 and 1997 twice the Championship and the Cup victory in 1996 and 1999 . During his time with the Rangers , McInnes was loaned to Stockport County in England and to Toulouse FC in France . In July 2000, the career phase in Glasgow ended when he moved to West Bromwich Albion for half a million pounds . In October of the same year, McInnes suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament and initially fell out. After his recovery he was able to fight for a regular place in the following seasons. McInnes returned to Scotland in 2003, playing for Dundee United for three years . From 2006 to January 2007 he played half a season for the English club Millwall before the 35-year-old McInnes signed a contract with St. Johnstone FC . With the end of his career as a player, he finally won the Scottish League Challenge Cup 2007/08 .

In 2002 McInnes had completed two international matches under Berti Vogts for the Scottish national football team against Denmark and Portugal .
