'A bit early' for Rangers to put pressure on Celtic & Hearts - McInnes

Rangers manager Derek McInnes has brushed aside suggestions that his squad can establish psychological leverage over Scottish Premiership frontrunners Celtic and Hearts ahead of their upcoming weekend fixture. Speaking ahead of their Saturday match, the coach noted that it remains premature in the campaign to attempt such tactical pressure, emphasizing instead that his team must simply maintain focus on securing their own victory at Dens Park.

A win would momentarily lift Rangers above Celtic in the standings, though their Glasgow rivals are set to face third-placed Hearts on Sunday. McInnes also acknowledged experiencing some envy while watching European matches earlier in the week, following his side's earlier qualification exit to Jablonec.
