Derek McInnes on Rangers star he ‘loves’ as Ibrox boss lays down ‘greedy’ league challenge

Rangers manager Derek McInnes praised goalkeeper Ivor Pandur and defender Olwethu Makhanya while challenging his team to be "greedy" in the Scottish Premiership title race. McInnes noted how much he loves Pandur's calming influence after the £6 million signing recorded six clean sheets in 13 matches. He also commended Makhanya's seamless adjustment to Scottish football following his £3 million summer transfer from Philadelphia Union.

Rangers sit two points behind Celtic after securing a 1-0 win at Parkhead, extending their winning run to six matches across competitions. Ahead of facing Kilmarnock at Ibrox after the international break, McInnes challenged his squad to maintain their high standards across the upcoming run of games.
