Derek McInnes has expressed concerns over Rangers' defensive situation, stating the team is 'playing with fire' due to a shortage of options. Tuur Rommens is set to miss up to eight weeks with a groin strain, while Youssef Chermiti is ruled out for a significant period with an ACL injury. The manager has acknowledged the need for reinforcements, particularly in defense, and is working to address the issue.

Rangers are also seeking a new striker and have stepped up their pursuit of a winger, with Couhaib Driouech set to join from PSV. McInnes admits the squad needs help and is keen to strengthen the team in key areas.
