The Rangers tactical evolution that should have fans excited as explosive Penrice performance unleashed by key change

Robbie Copeland analyzes tactical adjustments implemented by manager Derek McInnes that have powered Rangers to seven consecutive victories. The analysis highlights James Penrice's versatility, noting how McInnes shifted him from an auxiliary midfielder against Celtic to an advanced creative left-back against Kilmarnock. Working alongside Djeidi Gassama, Penrice helped set up all three Rangers goals in the win over Kilmarnock.

Copeland also highlights McInnes swapping midfielders Dan Neil and Nicolas Raskin to exploit Kilmarnock's defensive setup on the left flank. Neil created overloads alongside Penrice and Gassama, delivering 24 passes into the final third. The writer argues this tactical flexibility proves Rangers are now firmly back in the Scottish Premiership title race.
