The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers manager Derek McInnes stated that the club does not need to make major signings during the January transfer window. His comments align with chairman Andrew Cavenagh, who recently informed the Fan Advisory Board that significant transfer activity is unlikely unless unforeseen circumstances arise. McInnes emphasized the importance of keeping the current squad intact rather than disrupting team momentum.

After making 14 signings over the summer, Rangers expect injured players Lawrence Shankland, Cammy Devlin, and Daisuke Yokota back by December. McInnes noted that their returns will feel like new additions, while Youssef Chermiti and Ross McCrorie remain sidelined. Rangers face Dundee on Saturday night with an opportunity to move to the top of the Premiership table.
