Rangers have been eliminated from the Europa League and are currently at the bottom of the league table with only one point to their name. Despite this, McInnes is confident that his team have sufficient funds to invest in new players to enhance their squad. The manager has already signed nine players in the summer, but feels that more could be added to strengthen the team.
McInnes has identified several areas that require improvement, including the team's defence. Rangers need a starting right-back, a starting centre-half, and a starting centre midfielder. Furthermore, if McInnes wants to continue with two strikers, the team needs another striker to provide depth and competition for places.
Former Rangers players Richard Foster and Andy Halliday have also commented on the situation. Foster believes that McInnes is the right man for the job and will guide Rangers to a position where they are competing for the league and cup. In contrast, Halliday thinks that the team needs a more structured approach to recruitment, with a clear profile of the type of players that the manager wants to sign.
If Rangers fail to overcome Jablonec in their upcoming Europa League qualifier, they will be without continental competition for the rest of the campaign, which will have a significant impact on their finances. McInnes is aware of the pressure building on him and his team, but is determined to turn things around and get Rangers back on track.
Rangers will face St Mirren in the League Cup last-16 tie on Sunday, where McInnes will be looking to give his fans something to get behind and to see a better performance from his team.
