Rangers’ new manager Derek McInnes is beginning to turn the club’s fortunes around, as evidenced by back‑to‑back victories over Celtic in the Old Firm derbies. The Scottish Premiership side, which had struggled in the early part of the campaign, secured a 3‑0 win in the first encounter and a 2‑1 triumph in the return fixture, both at Ibrox. These results have lifted the team’s confidence and sent a clear message that the club is no longer a “mortifying” start away from its historic rivals.

The consecutive derby wins are significant for McInnes, who was appointed after a turbulent period that saw Rangers finish outside the top three in the previous season. By defeating Celtic in both meetings, he has not only earned the support of the fan base but also demonstrated his ability to motivate the squad in high‑pressure matches. The victories also provide a boost to Rangers’ position in the league table, keeping them within striking distance of the title race and reinforcing McInnes’s growing reputation as a manager capable of delivering results in the most demanding fixtures.

In the wake of the wins, Rangers will look to maintain momentum as they approach the remainder of the season. McInnes’s early successes in the Old Firm suggest that he is beginning to establish a winning culture at Ibrox, setting the stage for a campaign that could see the club challenge for silverware after a period of uncertainty.
