McInnes backs himself to deliver Rangers success
Manager Derek McInnes says Rangers are "a long way away" from what he wants but backs himself to deliver success at Ibrox.
Rangers manager Derek McInnes acknowledges his side is far from the team he envisions, but remains confident in his ability to deliver success at Ibrox. Last season, McInnes saw his Rangers exit the European competitions via penalties in the Conference League play-off. Domestically, Rangers have advanced in the League Cup and face Celtic in the quarter-finals next month, but the team has only accumulated one point from their first two Scottish Premiership matches.
McInnes commented on the team's performance, stating that while he believes in his managerial abilities, the players currently need more support. The manager stated that the team is a long way from his ideal Rangers side, and there is considerable uncertainty at the moment. He expects to recruit additional players before the transfer window closes and is prepared to let a few players leave.
The manager expects the new signings to help the team become more defensively oriented, as Rangers currently struggle with various playing styles.
