‘New recruits prove Gers have no fear’
points with Celtic at the top of table following their 1-0 Old Firm win at Ibrox before the winter shutdown.
And defender Goldson is pleased to keep the momentum building as the Gers set their sights on the silverware this season.
He said: “It’s a lift. It just adds to the squad. It brings a good amount of experience. It brings people who have been at the highest level and done it and aren’t going to be afraid if we are up there in a title race.
“The good teams always improve and so far the gaffer has gone about doing that in the transfer window. The one thing I will say is that the size of this club deserves to have players like that. We deserve to attract those kind of players because the club is huge.
“You don’t understand it when you are in England, but this club deserves to have the best available players to help them try and win things because it’s been a long time since we have.
“We need to go as far as we can in the league, try and win as many games as possible. We have got the cup coming up, and we need to go as far as we can in that.”
Rangers fans are daring to dream of a potential Premiership triumph this season after Gerrard’s side hauled themselves into title contention with that Old Firm win.
Goldson heard all about the supposed gap across the Glasgow divide when he joined the Light Blues from Brighton in the summer.
But his assertion after the first derby at Parkhead that Rangers could more than compete this term has proven to be accurate so far.
Goldson said: “My words were taken completely the wrong way there. The three words of ‘they’re not Barcelona’ got put on every single headline. That wasn’t what I actually said.
“I just said that the gap wasn’t as big as I thought it was. It shows that, when we play how we can, we are a match for anyone.” what could come if the Gers can go all the way this term.
That is now the ultimate aim as Gerrard prepares for a potentially historic second half of the season at their winter training base in Tenerife.
Goldson said: “It’s huge. I don’t think any of us probably realised how big it would be but that’s probably a taster. I think it was more of a relief for Rangers fan to be honest. All you heard was
‘you made our New Year’, ‘it’s been so long’.
“I’ve heard that from so many people that I’ve met up here and become friends with.
“Now, we go into another part of the season and we have another two games against them but that game takes a lot of pressure off us as a club. We know we can go into games against any of the big teams and know that we can win.”
