Derek McInnes has spies in camp that have now been used against Rangers and Celtic
Rangers will know that the Scottish Premiership is wide open this season.
Hearts’ 2-1 win over Celtic in Wilfried Nancy’s first game on Sunday has kept the title race flowing, and the silverware is still anyone’s for the taking.
Rangers beat Kilmarnock 3-0 on Saturday evening, with Danny Rohl quietly ticking along in the Scottish Premiership after the horror start under Russell Martin.
Derek McInnes is top of the pile with Hearts, as things stand, and it appears that his dark arts are propelling him to glory, if he can avoid the recent inconsistencies.
Derek McInnes spies are everywhere in Scotland
Keith Jackson has shared that McInnes still has informers up and down Scotland, and that helped him secure a win over Nancy and Celtic.
It is said that McInnes also did the same at Kilmarnock last season, but Barry Ferguson and Rangers still managed a 4-2 win at Rugby Park.
Writing in the print edition of the Daily Record on Monday, Jackson said: “Jambos boss Derek McInnes admitted before a ball had been kicked to receiving a tip-off as to Nancy’s first couple of days on the training pitch.
“McInnes is an established networker with spies in camps all across the country.
“It was less than a year ago that he knew Barry Ferguson’s first starting XI before the caretaker Rangers boss and his team had negotiated a safe passage down the M77 to Rugby Park with a 4-2 win.”
Can Rangers still catch Hearts?
McInnes has been frequently linked with the Rangers job, but it has never quite happened.
The Scottish Premiership is set for its best title race in years, with the Bears clinging on to both Hearts and Celtic in the top two.
The Old Firm both have a game in hand on the Jambos, and if both win, the Bears would be six points behind the top two, who would sit on 35.
With the busy Christmas period ahead, things could change very quickly.
That is especially when you consider Rangers’ next two games are against Hibernian and Hearts before Christmas Day, with the chance to cut that gap yet again.
With the next Old Firm showdown at the start of January, things could look very different for Rangers by then, hopefully in a positive manner.
