'McInnes in a really precarious position now'

Rangers' feeble European exit was no surprise and Derek McInnes is now battling to save his job, says Scott Allan. The Ibrox club will not play European football beyond August for the first time in nine years after crashing on penalties to Jablonec following a 1-0 second-leg defeat in the Czech Republic. "I think he's in a really precarious position now in how he tries to turn this around," said former Premiership midfielder Allan on the BBC's Scottish football podcast. He added: "Players coming off at half-time week to week, the morale of the group will be really poor. "When you look at the performance, it is nowhere near good enough, but not a result I didn't expect. "He literally said himself the team doesn't know what it is. And ultimately that falls on Derek McInnes and what they're doing on the training pitch. "He talked about elite preparation - the performance was anything but that. If we're totally honest, they're devoid of quality. "Rangers weren't playing against a top side. That's a game, with what Rangers have spent, they should be coming through quite comfortably. "Things have to change very quickly for Rangers. Players, especially now, are going to have to look deep within themselves to try and find a performance on Sunday because Stephen Robinson and Aberdeen will be preying on this Rangers team at Pittodrie."
