Glasgow Rangers striker Jason Cummings has admitted to the Glasgow Evening Times that he is not match fit yet.

Cummings has joined Rangers on loan from Nottingham Forest until the end of the season, and he has made an extremely bright start to life at Ibrox.

The striker got on the scoresheet after coming off the substitutes’ bench in Rangers’ last match against Forest.

Cummings scored as Rangers beat Ross County 2-1 yesterday, which could force him into Graeme Murty’s starting plans.

Cummings has started from the bench since joining Rangers so far, but the 22-year-old insists he can have no complaints, as he is not sharp yet.

“I can’t complain, I’m not match fit at all and I haven’t had many games in the past few months,” he said.

“Morelos has been banging the goals in as well, so I was happy just to come on and try to get a goal, and hopefully in the next few weeks I can push for a start.”

Cummings was playing a reserve role at Forest, which meant that he has not had much of an opportunity to get used to playing regularly.

Rangers’ win over Ross County has pushed them back up into second place in the Scottish Premiership table.

Murty’s side are in action in midweek, when they take on Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup, and Cummings could be set to start.
