Rangers manager Derek McInnes is facing a difficult start to his tenure after his side went winless in their first three games, conceding five goals and falling behind in each match. Dundee United, Jagiellonia Bialystok and Hibernian have all taken first-half leads against Ibrox, with defensive lapses and inconsistent team selection compounding the club's struggles just as they enter a crucial period of the season.

Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by Hibernian saw McInnes field his third different back four in as many games, with new signing Vanja Dragojevic conceding a penalty, while pundits including Scott Allan and Ryan Jack questioned whether McInnes has settled on his best team. McInnes disputed the penalty award and called the defeat "harsh," insisting his side deserved better, but the result means he has now lost more home league games at Rangers than during his entire time at Hearts. The pressure intensifies with Rangers' Europa League qualification on the line in Thursday's second leg against Jagiellonia Bialystok.
