Wilson: I won’t rest until Gers pick up form

DANNY WILSON has been losing sleep over Rangers’ ropey start to life in the Premiership.

But the defender insists he won’t rest until the Ibrox side start doing themselves and their manager justice.

Wilson, currently in his second spell in Light Blue, is no stranger to the skyhigh expectations that come with pulling on the famous jersey.

He also knows the current squad is not meeting them.

Defeats at Celtic Park, Pittodrie and, in midweek, Tynecastle, have drawn criticism in the Press, on social media, and even from fans in the street.

But Wilson insists he will continue to take his knocks on the chin – because they have been entirely deserved.

“We haven’t won three games on the trot yet this season. For Rangers, that’s really poor,” said the 24-year-old.

“I went home after the Hearts game and didn’t sleep too well at all.

“It’s difficult. I don’t like losing, but I really don’t like losing when you’ve not laid a glove on the opposition.

“We didn’t lay a glove on Hearts the other night.

“That’s the really disappointing aspect. I was sitting in my bed until 3am on Thursday morning stewing over it.

“Throughout my two spells here, it’s been largely successful. Now we’re going through a sticky period and there’s criticism coming our way.

“That’s just something you deal with as a Rangers player. We wear the badge on our chest and we have to represent this club as best we can.

“Everyone is a critic right now, even people in the supermarket. But that’s not something that fazes me. I’m used to it.

“In a strange way, I enjoy it. That criticism makes you want to prove them wrong.”

If Rangers do find a way to prove the doubters wrong, in doing so, they will prove their manager right.

And Wilson believes his fellow players have the ability to make Warburton’s tactics work.

“The manager has a philosophy and a way he wants us to play,” he said.

“But there are times when, as a group, we have to make assessments for ourselves and pick the right thing for us.

“All the blame can’t go on the manager. We’re the ones out there on the pitch. The boys are trying but it’s not working for us.

“We’ve had too many of those days so far this season. Hopefully we’ll get better as the campaign goes on.

“It would be foolish of me to say we’ve had a good season so far because we haven’t.

“It’s been disappointing. But there’s still enough time to get back on track.”
