Rangers Seek Reinforcements as McInnes Aims to Turn Season Around

Rangers face challenges early in the season, needing "a wee bit of help" according to manager Derek McInnes. Despite a summer of rebuilding that saw nine players join the squad, the team has struggled, managing only one point from their first four league games. After a disappointing exit from the Europa League—losing to Jagiellonia Bialystok—the club now risks missing out on continental competition entirely if they cannot secure victories against Jablonec in the upcoming qualifiers. McInnes expressed the urgency of the situation, stating, "If you don't win games, everything becomes so much more difficult." Looking ahead to the League Cup clash against St Mirren on Sunday, McInnes acknowledged the pressure on his squad and the need to deliver results: "We need to try and win games as we go along." "We've got money to spend, and we could do with just a wee bit of help." He also addressed the impact of injuries, which forced him to adapt his lineup, stating, "I've had to put square pegs in round holes." Acknowledging the frustrations of the Rangers fans, McInnes emphasized the importance of giving supporters something to rally behind, saying, "They need to see action. We aim to give them a better performance." The club is determined to turn their fortunes around as the season progresses.
