What's going wrong for Rangers and McInnes?

Derek McInnes, the current manager of Rangers, is facing intense pressure after a series of disappointing performances. After three games, McInnes already has the worst start of any Rangers manager in the club's history. This week, Rangers lost a Europa League qualifier against Jagiellonia Bialystok, with the match ending in a 3-2 aggregate defeat.

The poor showing at Ibrox was met with boos from the home fans, which McInnes confirmed were justified due to the team's underwhelming second-half performance. McInnes attributes the team's struggles to their inability to deliver a 90-minute performance consistently. The club has reportedly rejected a significant bid for striker Youssef Chermiti, further complicating the squad situation.

Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday believes that the team lacks the necessary quality and confidence to compete at the highest level. He argues that the club is short of quality and needs to improve their morale. McInnes' decision to replace midfielder Thelo Aasgaard with Ross McCrorie at the break did not yield the desired results, leading to further criticism of the team's control and cohesion.

With Chermiti's long-term knee injury ruling him out for an extended period, Rangers now faces the challenge of recruiting a new striker and addressing their midfield and right-back concerns. Former Rangers captain James Tavernier, who remains a free agent, is being called upon to bring stability and leadership to the squad. Despite McInnes' efforts to rebuild the team, many fans and analysts believe that the current squad is not capable of competing at the required level, leading to predictions of another trophyless season for Rangers.
