Ally McCoist Sets Ambitious Target for Rangers To Chase This Season

Rangers' failure to qualify for Europe this season is slowly turning out to be a blessing in disguise.

With their latest victory over Aberdeen in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup, the Gers will now have the chance to win their first silverware after two back-to-back trophyless campaigns.

The Light Blues will take on Hibernian at Hampden Park next month and hopefully replicate the resilience which they showed against the Dons this past weekend.

The fans and players alike are optimistic regarding a victory at Hampden next month, but club legend Ally McCoist has seemingly set a much more important objective for Derek McInnes and his men to chase this season while speaking to TalkSPORT Bet Online Casino.

McCoist was full of praise for the Gers' performance so far this season, but at the same time, the club legend urged the Light Blues to chase the league title, saying (h/t The Herald), "I don't think anything has changed. I think Rangers have got to set out right now to win every domestic trophy they can.

"You have to be looking to win the league title; that is the most important one at the start of the season for a team like Rangers.

"The Cups I always say are a more than achievable bonus, but you've got to get the league title. That is still the priority for me looking at it, and the priority for most Rangers fans right now."

McCoist's demands certainly make sense after the Teddy Bears' significant investment during the summer transfer window.

The Gers' new recruits have brilliantly adapted to McInnes's brand of football, which has already started to yield results.

Following their failure to qualify for both the Europa League and Conference League, the Gers were quick to improve their performances and are now unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions, winning nine.

McInnes's men have also tamed Celtic twice this season already, and within the span of a week.

First, they secured a dominant 3-0 victory during their League Cup quarter-final clash at Ibrox, followed by another convincing win at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership a week later.

The Teddy Bears are currently four points behind league leaders Celtic with a game in hand.

They have already cemented their eagerness to end their cross-town rivals' run of consecutive league wins.

McCoist has seemingly set the bar high for McInnes in his first season in charge of the Gers, but the manager is definitely not expected to lower his guard next month when they take on Hibs in search of their first title after two back-to-back trophyless campaigns.
