  "account": "Derek McInnes, the Rangers manager, expresses his disapproval of the extended international break, considering it too lengthy. After a Scottish Premiership victory over Celtic on September 20th, 13 of Rangers' players were away representing their countries. The full squad is only set to train together on the day before their next match against Kilmarnock, 19 days post their derby triumph. McInnes highlights the challenge for players being away from their families and the nervousness of players travelling to foreign countries for extended periods. Despite the break being non-negotiable, McInnes voices his dissatisfaction with the duration, stating it is longer than many tournaments for many countries.",
