Derek McInnes tells Rangers players they’ve earned his trust with Celtic double as stars add what’s been missing

Rangers manager Derek McInnes has declared that his players have earned his trust following back-to-back victories over rivals Celtic. A 1-0 win at Celtic Park, secured by a Ryan Naderi goal, followed a 3-0 victory in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final. The result closes the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, leaving Rangers just two points behind Celtic.

McInnes admitted he was initially unsure of his squad after a difficult start to the season, which included dropping early league points and exiting European competition. However, he praised his team's defensive determination, clean sheets, and growing confidence. McInnes emphasized that the victory provides a crucial reference point for his young squad moving forward.
