Aberdeen had a day to forget at Ibrox, losing 5-0 to Rangers in a pretty gutless display.
Two goals from James Tavernier, Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe efforts, plus a strike from former Don Greg Stewart handed the home side an emphatic victory.
After their League Cup exit during the week, McInnes needed a big response from his players to appease unhappy supporters.
Now some angry Aberdeen fans are directing their anger at him following a dismal display against Rangers.

Aberdeen defeat to Rangers is embarrassing
It’s not the defeat to Rangers that Dons are angry about. It was more the manner of defeat that has irked some supporters.
There was no spirit, no determination and certainly no will to win this game from either the players or the manager. On the park, they simply rolled over for the home team.
It could have been more than 5. Rangers had a massive 27 attempt on target, with 11 of those on target. Aberdeen by comparison had just the four shots with one on target.
The fact that Rangers scored more goals than Aberdeen had shots tells you all you need to know. Aberdeen have embarrassed themselves with this result and fans are rightly letting them know about it.
Remarkably, they are still in fourth, but a big upturn in form is needed at Pittodrie.
