After the boos rung out around Ibrox on the half-time whistle, McInnes will no doubt have been delighted by the victory, and the cheers, that came with the full-time whistle in Govan.
Rangers huffed and puffed for the first half as they failed to really test Jablonec goalkeeper Hanus, besides that one opportunity from Dragojevic that he, and the majority of Ibrox, thought had crossed the line and gone in.
But while they didn't really trouble the visitors, they were not really troubled themselves either.
Rangers had the majority of possession, shots (13 compared to Jablonec's five), and touches in the opposition box, although keeper Pandur had to make more saves than his counterpart in the visiting goal - four compared to two.
The goal was good and Rangers probably could have had more without really dominating, evidenced by their 13 shots, and that is something that McInnes will be hoping does not come back to haunt them in the Czech Republic next week.
