Derek McInnes is seeking a win after three games as Rangers manager, feeling hard done by following a 2-1 home defeat by Hibernian and a significant injury to big-money striker Youssef Chermiti. After a Europa League qualifying loss in Poland, McInnes called on his side to defend with their lives, criticizing the squad for showing worrying characteristics that ruined last season.

Against Hibs, the side struggled to hold their shape, marking the third different back four used this season. This selection inconsistency is mirroring their form on the park. The manager noted that while they were the better team, the defeat is damaging as the club expects to win every game.

With nine signings already in the building, McInnes wants to further bolster his squad, particularly in defense and the wings. However, the injury to Chermiti complicates matters significantly. As the club faces a crucial Europa League second leg against Jagiellonia Bialystok, the pressure to find consistency and results is mounting.
