Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh says the club is frustrated with the season start and expects three to five more signings before the window closes, joining chief executive Jim Gillespie and shareholder Paraag Marathe in discussions.

Jim Gillespie explained the hiring philosophy, preferring a “Klopp‑style manager” who plays aggressively. He highlighted Derek McInnes as a long‑term target who fits the club’s culture. The club also seeks clarification from the SFA over a VAR decision that awarded Hibernian a penalty in Sunday’s 2‑1 loss.

Gillespie criticized the VAR call, stating it was not a “clear and obvious error” and called for a strategy to improve referee and VAR performance. He asked the SFA, “What is the strategy for improvement?” emphasizing the need for development to prevent similar mistakes.

The transfer window timeline remains tight, and Cavenagh’s expectation of additional signings signals an active period ahead for Rangers as they aim to climb the table.
