Are Rangers Becoming a Derek McInnes Team?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Rangers, Kyle is joined by Lewis Aird for his first appearance on the podcast to discuss Rangers’ 1-0 win over Motherwell and the growing signs of Derek McInnes’ identity within the team. The pair discuss Rangers’ willingness to concede possession, why McInnes’ side were still able to control the game without dominating the ball, and the threat Rangers carried when winning possession and attacking quickly in transition. They also pick out some of the standout individual performances, including Dan Neil, Manny Fernandez, Findlay Curtis, Djeidi Gassama and Minsu Kim, and assess why several players appear to be growing in confidence under McInnes. Kyle and Lewis also discuss Lawrence Shankland’s injury, the performance of Ryan Naderi, what Kevin Kelsy could bring to Rangers’ attack and how McInnes might manage his striking options going forward. Finally, they look ahead to Wednesday night’s Premiership clash with St Mirren at Ibrox and discuss the changes they would make to the starting XI. 💙 Enjoy our Rangers content?
