Rangers’ difficult start under Derek McInnes continued with a 1-1 home draw against Jagiellonia Bialystok, which sealed a 3-2 aggregate Europa League qualifying defeat. The result has increased pressure on McInnes after four games, with supporters leaving early and booing the team following another second-half performance judged well below expectations.

McInnes said Rangers remain short of the quality and confidence needed for European competition despite signing nine players this summer, and accepted the fans’ reaction was justified. His tactical switch from a back three to a back four after half-time was criticised for costing Rangers midfield control, while injuries, a misfiring Lawrence Shankland and limited creativity have added to the concerns. Rangers now face Czech side Jablonec in a Conference League play-off.
