What's going wrong for Rangers and McInnes?
After Rangers' Europa League qualifying defeat by Jagellonia Bialystok, what is going wrong for new manager Derek McInnes and his side so far this season?
Derek McInnes has faced a challenging start as Rangers manager, with his team's recent Europa League exit further adding to the pressure. McInnes acknowledges that despite significant investment in new players, the squad still lacks the necessary quality, and they struggle to deliver a strong 90-minute performance. The manager believes the team's inability to perform consistently is a continuation of the issues from the end of last season.
Rangers' loss to Jagiellonia Bialystok, following a 1-1 draw, resulted in a 3-2 aggregate defeat, dropping them into a Conference League play-off. The team has seen moments of brilliance but has not been able to sustain a strong performance throughout the game. McInnes criticized the team's lack of control and confidence, particularly after replacing Thelo Aasgaard with Ross McCrorie and shifting to a four-man backline.
Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday believes the squad is imbalanced, with a need for more center-halves and wingers. Despite the struggles, some fans argue that McInnes should be given more time, while others believe he is unsuited for the job and should be replaced.
