  "account": "Nine days, three games and zero victories have marked Rangers' poor start to the season under new manager Derek McInnes. The Ibrox club have conceded five goals and suffered heavy first-half defeats to Dundee United, Jagiellonia Bialystok and Hibernian. McInnes' selection inconsistencies, both in terms of his preferred eleven and line-up choices, have been a growing source of frustration. Former Hibs midfielder Scott Allan cautioned that the current form might not bode well for future crucial matches. Rangers' defense lapses and inability to create scoring opportunities have been key issues, with McInnes himself acknowledging the poor showing. The manager's commitment to solidifying his squad through additional signings, including a striker and defenders, appears to be ongoing, despite recent setbacks.",
  "summary": "Derek McInnes is still seeking a win after three games as Rangers managers and feels hard done by following a 2-1 home defeat by Hibernian and injury to big-money striker Youssef Chermiti.",
