Derek McInnes Confident in Lawrence Shankland's Leadership at Rangers

Derek McInnes, the manager of Rangers, has expressed confidence in captain Lawrence Shankland's ability to influence the team, regardless of his starting position. Shankland, who joined Rangers from Hearts, has taken on the captaincy role under McInnes.

Despite not starting in the recent 5-1 League Cup victory over St Mirren, where midfielder Nico Raskin captained the side, McInnes believes Shankland will have a significant impact both on and off the pitch. Shankland has scored once for Rangers, a penalty in a Europa League qualifier.

Rangers have also confirmed the signing of Kosta Nedeljkovic on loan from Aston Villa, marking the club's 11th signing this summer. McInnes noted the importance of strengthening the right-back position, highlighting Nedeljkovic's potential to contribute to the team's performance.
