  "account": "Following Rangers' shock defeat to Jablonec on penalties in the Conference League play-off, fans have been quick to voice their frustration with manager Derek McInnes. Louise expressed disappointment, stating that the team appears to have regressed significantly since last season, with no substance or quality added during this summer's transfers.\n\nLes described the performance as the worst he has seen in a long time, while Paul lamented the ineptitude of the Rangers team in European competitions. Michael argued that McInnes has lost his touch at a big club, citing a win percentage lower than that of Russell Martin's tenure.\n\nG Young suggested giving the manager a chance to prove himself, stating that he was manager of the season three months ago with Hearts. Jacob, however, called for McInnes to leave, expressing disbelief at the club's decline. Gordon deemed it the worst Rangers performance of his lifetime, questioning McInnes's ability to manage the team effectively.",
  "summary": "Louise: I didn't think it was possible to have a worse team than the start of last season but Rangers continue to go backwards. The only player with any heart was Findlay Curtis who had the guts to take a penalty at such a young age. Rangers were Europa finalists not too long ago and now we can't even qualify for Conference football.",
