Rangers manager Derek McInnes targets new signings before Dundee United clash Derek McInnes admits Rangers need more creativity to support their strikers ahead of the Premiership opener against Dundee United. The Ibrox boss is hopeful of securing new recruits before Friday’s clash at Tannadice, where Dundee United finished 9th last season with 33 points (8W-9D-16L), scoring 34 goals and conceding 53. ## What did McInnes say about transfers? McInnes, who has already added seven new faces to the squad, emphasized the need for players who can create chances. He praised strikers like Ryan Naderi and Bojan Miovski but noted they rely on service. The manager also confirmed a deal is close and hopes to bring in one more player before the match. ## Why is this important for Dundee United? Dundee United, coming off a season where they finished 37 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian, will face a Rangers side looking to strengthen. McInnes’ focus on creativity and defense could impact the Tayside team’s strategy, especially with key players like Nico Raskin missing the opener due to injury. ## What’s next for both teams? McInnes aims to finalize transfers in the next 48 hours, with potential signings possibly featuring against Dundee United. Meanwhile, Jim Goodwin’s side will prepare to face a Rangers team still shaping up for the new campaign.
