Rangers fans were delighted at The Scottish Sun’s report that Josh Windass could leave the club this summer.

But would manager Pedro Caixinha be a mistake in selling him?

It is fair to say that the 23-year-old did not exactly blow Rangers fans away in his first season at Ibrox, failing to score in any of his 21 Scottish Premiership outings.

If there is a defence to be mounted it surely must come in the form of his injury record.

The former Accrington Stanley star endured something of a stop-start season with the Gers but he did, at times, look one of Mark Warburton’s better signings last summer.

Granted this wasn’t hard to do, with Philippe Senderos’s penchant for the ridiculous, Joey Barton’s training-ground brawls and subsequent sacking, or Joe Gardner’s modest goalscoring record – he scored seven times in 31 top-flight outings.

But Windass perhaps showed enough promise at times to warrant one more season to make an impact, a season interrupted by injury.

Only then can Rangers fans properly judge him and say definitively whether their club is better off without him.
