Derek McInnes believes his Rangers side can win the Scottish Premiership title if they make a fast start to the season.Rangers finished third last term, 10 points behind eventual champions Celtic, following a poor spell at the beginning of the campaign under Russell Martin.Danny Rohl then took over and got Rangers back into the title race, but a run of four consecutive defeats in April and May saw them drop out of the running.McInnes' former side, Hearts, lost out on the title in dramatic fashion, going down 3-1 to Celtic on the final day of the season.Rangers start their new campaign on the road against Dundee United on Friday, and McInnes has emphasised the importance of a fast start to the season."It's important that we get off to a good start," McInnes told Sky Sports News.
