Rangers manager Derek McInnes is in a hurry to strengthen his squad, with the club's pre-season preparations revealing areas of concern. McInnes is keen to sign a player who can provide the creativity and difference-making ability that the team currently lacks. He believes that having players who can isolate and go one-on-one, as well as play off both sides, is crucial for the team's success.
In terms of defensive concerns, McInnes acknowledges that the team is 'a bit short in terms of numbers' with a busy schedule ahead. This has led to the signing of three defensive midfielders, with the potential sale of Raskin also on the table. Despite this, McInnes is cautious about the Belgian's involvement in the early part of the season, citing the possibility of interest from other clubs.
The manager's comments suggest a sense of urgency and a desire to address the team's weaknesses quickly. With a busy schedule and a need for creative players, McInnes is under pressure to make the right moves to ensure the team's success this season. The question remains whether the club can find the right players in the remaining 48 hours, or if they will have to wait until the transfer window reopens to address their needs.
