Rangers have endured a difficult start to the season under manager Derek McInnes, failing to secure a victory in their opening three matches. The team has conceded five goals during this nine-day stretch, a stark contrast to McInnes’s record last season, where he remained undefeated in home league matches while managing Hearts.
The Ibrox side has consistently struggled early in games, allowing Dundee United, Jagiellonia Bialystok, and Hibernian to take first-half leads. These defensive vulnerabilities, combined with a lack of clinical finishing and difficulty breaking down organized opponents, have left the squad searching for form.
Former Hibs midfielder Scott Allan expressed concern regarding the team’s lack of stability on Radio Scotland following the 2-1 loss to his former club. Allan noted, “Based on today, I’d be very surprised if Derek McInnes knows what his best 11 is and we’re into the big games already – and that’s a problem.”
