McInnes on Chermiti injury, transfers & Europa League decider

[SNS] Rangers manager Derek McInnes has addressed the media before Thursday's Europa League third qualifying round tie second leg against Jagiellonia Bialystok, who bring a 2-1 lead to Ibrox. Here are the main points: McInnes says the club are "really disappointed" by the news of Youssef Chermiti's ACL injury. Chermiti will see a specialist for an operation in London next week. The manager is glad Rangers can "react" to Chermiti's absence and defensive shortages in the current transfer window. McInnes says the club will be "proactive with a number nine", are "playing with fire" with few available defenders and are "trying to bring wingers in". He confirms Rangers are closing in on PSV winger Couhaib Driouech: "I don't know exactly where he is right now. We've been linked with a lot of players and obviously that one's gained a bit of momentum and we are quite far down the line with that." Left-back Tuur Rommens faces up to eight weeks out - with McInnes saying "the scan wasn't great" - and joins Chermiti and Ben Godfrey on the sidelines. "We could all be doing with a win," says McInnes and hopes beating Jagiellonia would bring encouragement and confidence. McInnes urges his side to be less "safe" and show "more risk" in their play as they seek to progress to the Europa League play-off round, where Georgia's Iberia 1999 await.
