And McCann, who made 171 appearances for the Glasgow giants during a five-year spell at Ibrox, explained to Sky Sports how Warburton should be focusing all of his energy on ensuring that Rangers finish second in the league:
“Coming second should be his [Mark Warburton] first target for the season. I didn’t think they were going to challenge Celtic. I believe they should be a lot closer.”
