Derek McInnes has taken charge of Rangers, but his start was marked by a defeat in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. Rangers lost 2-1 to Jagiellonia in Białystok, Poland, with McInnes describing the goals conceded as cheap.
Following the match, the new manager expressed deep dissatisfaction with his team's performance. McInnes stated publicly that the Rangers were solely responsible for the defeat, highlighting that they had failed to seize the opportunities presented to them. The squad has yet to record a victory in the first two matches under his guidance.
McInnes succeeded Russell Martin and Danny Rohle at the Rangers' helm. Before arriving in Glasgow, McInnes had guided Hearts to significant success. He now faces the challenge of turning around a poor run of results at his new club.
Despite investments on the transfer market, Rangers have signed nine new players in an attempt to strengthen the squad. McInnes noted after the match that he observed many similarities with Rangers' performance last season, suggesting that fundamental issues in defence and concentration have persisted.
His current task is to stabilise the squad quickly ahead of the next round of competitions. The manager emphasised the need for better discipline and the ability to seize opportunities to avoid similar outcomes in future matches.
