Derek McInnes makes honest Rangers confession to Ally McCoist about his ‘rocky’ start at Ibrox

Rangers manager Derek McInnes joked with Ally McCoist on talkSPORT that McCoist underestimated just how rocky his early tenure was at Ibrox. Speaking after Rangers defeated Aberdeen 1-0 at Hampden to reach the Premier Sports Cup Final, McInnes acknowledged the team has since built an 11-game unbeaten run while continuing to adapt and improve after early-season struggles.

McInnes highlighted that while the squad remains young, particularly in attack, the priority at Rangers is to keep winning games amid ongoing external expectations. McCoist added that winning every domestic trophy is crucial, emphasizing that reclaiming the Scottish Premiership title from Celtic remains the ultimate priority for the club.
