Derek McInnes Urges Rangers to Get Ibrox Crowd on Side During Old Firm Clash
McInnes wants Rangers to use Ibrox support to unsettle Celtic and says the team can be difficult to stop with 50,000 fans behind them.
- On Sunday, Rangers manager Derek McInnes urged supporters to "bring the crowd with us" during the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Old Firm rivals Celtic at Ibrox, seeking to harness the energy of 50,000 home fans.
- Frustrations nearly boiled over on Wednesday as Rangers struggled against St Mirren before substitute Bojan Miovski's late winner sparked relief; McInnes now hopes to channel that momentum into Sunday's derby.
- Because authorities banned away fans, the 50,000-capacity Ibrox will host only Rangers supporters. McInnes emphasized that while the team cannot dominate for 90 minutes, consistent backing is vital to make the game "as tough for Celtic as possible."
- Amid transfer developments, McInnes confirmed defender John Souttar is nearing a move to Greek side Aris Thessaloniki, with potential changes expected within two or three days.
- To challenge Celtic, which has secured more trophies than any other club in recent years, Rangers must prove they can deliver "something a bit different," McInnes said, starting with Sunday's cup tie.
