Wind of change is tough
Josh Windass is confident Rangers can close the gap on rivals Celtic but admits the Hoops ability to splash the cash makes it difficult.
The midf ielder, who netted in the 3-2 defeat against Brendan Rodgers’ side earlier this month, realises the task is tall for the Ibrox side.
And Windass knows his side must force their way into Europe if they are to lift their first top- f light title since 2011.
Windass said: “With the Champions League, Celtic get big money for that and we’ve not got as much money as them.
“But this season it has got a lot closer compared to last year so I’m hoping in the next year or so we’ll be able to get a lot closer.
“It’s obviously a lot of pressure. It’s unbelievable playing in front of 50,000 people from what I was used to at my last club so I’m enjoying it.
“You can play well all you l ike when ever yone’s cheering you on but as soon as it goes against you it’s hard, like when you’re 1- 0 down against the lesser teams and the crowd are on your back.
“By the same token, when you’re doing well it’s the best atmosphere in the world playing for Rangers.
“I love going out and everyone not wanting you to have a bad game.
“But when I’m under pressure I love it, especially in the big games. I like it when people don’t want you to do well and then you can prove them wrong.”
Windass also heaped praise on current boss Graeme Murty and credited the interim manager for getting the best out of him.
He told Soccer Am: “He’s brilliant. He’s a really fun guy to have around.
“He has helped me a lot since he’s come in, playing me in the position I would prefer to play in.
“The manager has given me a lot of advice and I’ve done well for him.”
