The Sunday Mail columnist knows what it's like not to hit the ground running after his second spell at Ibrox and shared his words of wisdom.
They’re just a handful of games into their Ibrox career and already Cyriel Dessers and Danilo are getting stick. Welcome to Rangers, boys.
Despite that, the striking department is obviously an area of concern for Michael Beale. He’s got four attacking players in Danilo, Dessers, Sam Lammers and Abdallah Sima. And so far NONE of them has managed to grab the shirt. No-one is saying: ‘Gaffer, I’m the guy to lead your line’. That hasn’t happened yet. The manager is still searching for someone to be the centre-forward he can rely on.
You need to be trying your heart out. They have to see you running until you drop. Can we really say that about them at the moment? When I look at Dessers in particular, he got stick against Livi for not chasing down a lost cause. After that, every time he touched the ball there was an air of negativity around him. You could feel it. All eyes were on him.
And remember, I was under serious pressure having previously played for Celtic. But I’d like to think I contributed more than goals –and that helps. I had the attitude, the work ethic. When I lost the ball I felt so embarrassed that I had to chase to try and win it back. That was always in me. But I know how it can be knocked out of players with the constant grumbling from the stands.
