Gers good enough for title but Warbs eyes more players
can add one or two but they’ve got to be the right people, who are hard to find.
“There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes to do that.
“The strength of the bench is so important. The squad is getting stronger.
“We have three full-backs and three centre- backs. We need cover so we’d like another defender and a striker.
“In midfield we are really strong.”
Warburton left out Joey Barton, James Taver n ier, We s Foderingham and Martyn Waghorn in Friday night’s 3- 0 Betfred Cup win over East Stirling.
But they’ll all start against Stranraer at Ibrox tomorrow with Jordan Rossiter – who joined from Liverpool – set to be involved.
Warburton said: “There will be more changes on Monday. Niko Kranjcar and Joey wi l l start, while Wes, Tav and Waggy will be back.
“It’s a nice problem to have, we can fill our bench now which wasn’t always the case last season.
“Everyone thought I was mak ing a statement but I wasn’t – we had no players. Jordan will join over the weekend after England U-19 duty so he’ l l be available on Monday.”
Meanwhile, Josh Windass has tipped young winger Barrie McKay for a future in the Premier League.
The ex-Accrington midf ielder, said: “Barrie is such an outstanding prospect.
“His technique and his pace is incredible for a guy so young and I think he has a big future.
“I wa s at t he semi- f inal against Celtic when he scored that unbel ievable goal at Hampden.
“I was told a lot of good things about him and I haven’t been disappointed.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt he could play in the English Premier League.”
Windass , who signed for Ger s earlier this month, added: “I hope Barrie stays here at Ibrox for a long, long time.
“His turn of pace is fantastic and he glides past people on the pitch like they aren’t there. He’s brilliant to watch and he has a big future.”
Windass bagged his first Gers goal in the win at the Shire.
He said: “I’ve made a big step up coming from Accrington. I knew what I was coming into, though, when I signed.”
