Is 'bitty' Pittodrie win turning point for McInnes and Rangers?
Until Sunday's trip north to Aberdeen, Derek McInnes had not really enjoyed watching his Rangers team. That changed after an unconvincing win at Pittodrie.
After a run of two wins in seven matches, Rangers manager Derek McInnes was facing mounting pressure regarding his future. However, a hard-fought Scottish Premiership victory over Aberdeen, secured by Lawrence Shankland's second-half penalty, might mark a turning point in his tenure. McInnes admitted that the win was far more like the Rangers team he envisioned compared to the disappointing display earlier in the week.
The former Aberdeen manager expressed genuine enjoyment watching his players compete and bring quality to the game. Although Chris Sutton deemed the performance as "bitty," McInnes emphasized that Rangers' focus now is to secure the three points, a priority after their humiliating exit from Conference League qualifying. The manager also praised young South Korean Kim Min-su, who made a strong impression in his debut, and highlighted the team's need for more quality in various areas, including midfield creativity.
