Dhibaatooyinka Rangers: McInnes oo si liidata u bilaabay, kooxduna Europa League ka baxday
Derek McInnes ayaa noqday maamulihii ugu bilaabashada liidata ee Rangers ka dib afar kulan, taariikhda kooxda. Rangers ayaa 3-2 ku dhacday Jagiellonia Bialystok waxaana laga saaray wareegga saddexaad ee Europa League, iyagoo u gudbay Conference League.
McInnes: Kooxdu diyaar uma aha Europa League
McInnes wuxuu qirtay in kasta oo malaayiin laga kharash gareeyay sagaal ciyaaryahan oo cusub xagaagan, ay weli yartahay tayada kooxda. Wuxuu yiri: "The club is built for the Champions League and Europa League, but I don't think the team is ready for it and it pains me to say it."
Wuxuu intaa ku daray: "We need to get more quality, we need to get more confidence into the team." McInnes wuxuu sheegay in Jagiellonia ay yihiin koox wanaagsan oo si fiican loo tababaray, laakiin Rangers marka ay ugu fiican tahay ay tahay inay badiyaan.
Isbeddelka xeeladda iyo dhaleeceynta Halliday
McInnes wuxuu beddelay Thelo Aasgaard wuxuu geliyay Ross McCrorie wuxuuna ka guurey saddexda daafaca afar. Andy Halliday ayaa yiri: "The reasoning makes sense, but it didn't work, it's as simple as that." Wuxuu darisey in Gassama iyo Yokota ay kubad badan heleen.
Halliday wuxuu sheegay in ay lumiyeen xakamadii iyagoo la'aan jir dheeraad ah oo dhexe. Wuxuu ku baaqay in kooxdu ay wacdo James Tavernier: "the first thing Rangers should do in terms of recruitment is phone James Tavernier."
Dhaawaca iyo cadaadiska Shankland
Youssef Chermiti ayaa laga saaray dhaawac jilib oo waqti dheer ah kadib dalab lacageed oo Rangers diiday. Couhaib Driouech ayaa u imanaya PSV Eindhoven. Steven Thompson wuxuu yiri Shankland wuxuu la kulmayaa cadaadis maskaxeed oo ah kabtanka cusub.
Taageerayaashu way buuqeen dhamaadkii kulan. McInnes wuxuu yiri qaybta labaad wax qabadkeedu ma fiicannayn: "I think it was justified, to be honest." Rangers ayaa hadda ka ciyaarta Jablonec Conference League.
Derek McInnes faces mounting scrutiny after Rangers' 3-2 aggregate defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Europa League third qualifying round, with fans booed off at Ibrox and the manager admitting the team is not yet ready for European competition.
McInnes Admits Team Unprepared for European Football
Derek McInnes acknowledged that despite millions spent on nine new signings this summer, Rangers remain short of the quality needed for European competition. Speaking after the match, he said: 'The club is built for the Champions League and Europa League, but I don't think the team is ready for it and it pains me to say it.'
The manager also reflected on the disappointing second-half performance, stating: 'What we served up in the second half was not good enough. In the four games we've had, there's been some good moments, but it's not been good enough and certainly not a strong enough 90-minute performance.' He added that Jagiellonia are 'a decent team with some good players and I think they're well coached, but Rangers at their best should be winning this.'
Tactical Changes and Squad Imbalance Draw Criticism
McInnes replaced Thelo Aasgaard with full-back Ross McCrorie and shifted from a three-at-the-back formation to four, arguing the Norway midfielder was 'not getting involved enough.' However, former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday said on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound: 'The reasoning makes sense, but it didn't work, it's as simple as that. They lost all control without that extra body in midfield.'
Halliday further criticised the squad's imbalance, noting: 'The current squad that's available should be enough to beat Dundee United, it should be enough to beat Hibs and, to be honest, it should be enough to beat Jagiellonia Bialystok.' He also called for the return of 34-year-old former captain James Tavernier, saying: 'It's not going to be popular, but the first thing Rangers should do in terms of recruitment is phone James Tavernier tomorrow.'
Shankland's Captaincy Burden and Transfer Market Challenges
Former Rangers striker Steven Thompson highlighted the mental pressure on new captain Lawrence Shankland, saying: 'It's the weight of playing for Rangers, the weight of not having the start that he wanted, and the weight of taking a bad touch. It's not physical, it's mental.' The defeat compounds the nightmare news that Youssef Chermiti was ruled out with a long-term knee injury, just after Rangers rejected a big-money bid for the 22-year-old.
With PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech set to be the latest arrival, McInnes insists the club is 'working so hard to get the necessary type of players.' However, the loss drops Rangers into a Conference League play-off against Czechs Jablonec, raising questions about whether the summer recruitment strategy has delivered the expected impact.
