Funds available for Gers — King

-

DAVE King i s confident Rangers can rediscover their winning mentality under new boss Pedro Caixinha.

The Light Blues have had a season to forget after dropping down to third place i n the Ladbrokes Premiershi­p, a massive 35 points behind newly-crowned champions Celtic.

Now, in another thinly-veiled swipe at former manag er Mark Warburton, Ibrox chairman King says the days where performanc­es are valued more than points are over.

And he again insisted the club would ensure their new coach had funds to reshape his squad this summer.

Speaking as he launched the club’s season-ticket renewal drive, King said: “Funds are available to help Pedro shape his own team.

“It is i mportant our supporters continue to see Rangers playing attractive football but attractive football must not be pursued at t he cost of failing to win.

“We must reinstate the winning mentality expected of the most successful club in the world in terms of domestic league titles.

“This winning mentality is only one of the significan­t qualities I believe we have reintroduc­ed with the new manager and his support staff.

“We believe it is in the club’s interest to give Pedro the balance of this season to assess the squad and make preparatio­ns for the new season and the early start we envisage with Europa League qualifiers.”
