Derek McInnes Remains Optimistic Despite Rangers' European Exit

Rangers will not participate in European competition for the first time since 2017 following their penalty shootout loss to Jablonec in the Conference League play-off. The team is currently five points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership after just two matches.

Derek McInnes, the manager of Rangers, remains confident in his ability to lead the team to success despite the pressure from their recent performance. He acknowledged the disappointment of missing out on European football but emphasized the need to focus on domestic competitions moving forward.

Rangers will face Aberdeen in their next Premiership match, and McInnes highlighted the importance of this game, especially given the team's recent struggles at Pittodrie. He reiterated the need for the players to work harder and for the supporters to rally behind the team as they aim to improve their performance this season.
