If McInnes was asked the same question now then there’s no guarantee that he would come up with an answer, or at least, an answer that rang true.Nobody really knows what his Rangers are, least of all McInnes, you suspect. He made three substitutions at the break on Thursday, a trio that brought his total of half-time replacements to 11 in seven games. That betrays a…
