Rangers flip narrative as McInnes makes mark
Consecutive Old Firm derby wins show Derek McInnes is starting to make his mark at Rangers after a mortifying start.
Rangers manager Derek McInnes expressed satisfaction with his team's progress following a 1-0 win against Celtic in the Old Firm derby. This victory marks the team's sixth consecutive win and back-to-back derby triumphs, narrowing the gap to Celtic to just two points. Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday noted the significant change in the team's organization, aggression, and athleticism since McInnes took charge.
In the match, Rangers' defensive trio of Dujon Sterling, Emmanuel Fernandez, and Olwethu Makhanya displayed impressive defensive solidity, allowing James Penrice to contribute offensively. New signing Kevin Naderi stood out with his physical presence, 34 duels, and 11 wins in aerial duels, contributing a goal in the process. Despite concerns about the team's readiness at the start of the season, McInnes emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency and focusing on upcoming league games.
