McInnes hails Aberdeen win as possible spark for Rangers' season

Rangers secured a 1-0 victory at Aberdeen thanks to Lawrence Shankland’s penalty, and manager Derek McInnes said the performance could mark a turning point.

Facing mounting pressure after a poor start to the league, Derek McInnes led Rangers to a narrow win at Aberdeen, secured by Lawrence Shankland’s penalty in the second half. The manager admitted the display was more enjoyable than recent outings and suggested it could be a catalyst for improvement. Former players Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd commented on one outlet, with Sutton calling the effort “bitty” but questioning its significance, while Boyd stressed the importance of the three points.

McInnes praised 20-year-old Kim Min-su, who impressed on debut after a single training session, and also mentioned Djeidi Gassama as a key attacking contributor. He acknowledged the need for additional signings, especially to replace the injured Youssef Chermiti, and said talks were ongoing for a potential acquisition from Portland Timbers.

Why it matters

Rangers' win could shift momentum in a struggling season and influences future transfer decisions.
