McInnes says Rangers’ win over Dundee too early to pressure Celtic and Hearts
Derek McInnes dismissed the notion that a Rangers win over Dundee would put pressure on Celtic and Hearts, saying it was a bit early for such expectations.
After Saturday evening’s win over Dundee, Rangers manager Derek McInnes said the result did not automatically give the club a chance to pressure Celtic and Hearts.
McInnes dismissed the idea that a victory would put pressure on the other top teams, noting that it was a bit early in the campaign to draw such conclusions.
The Rangers are still chasing the title, and the win simply adds a point to their tally without changing the overall standings.
The comment reflects the club’s cautious approach as they aim to build momentum while staying realistic about their position in the league.
Looking ahead, Rangers will focus on upcoming fixtures to maintain their form and keep the pressure on their rivals.
