Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have won their last three matches in a row.

Martyn Waghorn has told the Daily Record that he has experienced a difficult time at Glasgow Rangers recently.

Waghorn finished last season as Rangers’ top scorer, but he has failed to hold down a place in Mark Warburton’s side’s starting line-up since they were promoted.

The 27-year-old has even been linked with a move away from Ibrox in recent times, with a number of English clubs said to be interested in signing him.

However, Waghorn insists that he wants to stay at Rangers – after fighting his way back into contention with the Glasgow club.

Waghorn was selected to start for Rangers in their most recent fixture on Friday evening against Hamilton, and he hit the back of the net twice.

“I’m just pleased to get back on the scoresheet. It’s been a difficult period and maybe I haven’t had as many chances through the middle as I would have liked,” Waghorn said.

“My first goal seemed to take an age to go in, I was almost holding my breath.

“When the second went in it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.”

Waghorn’s goals against Hamilton were his first for nine matches, and should consolidate his place in their team.

Rangers are next in action against Inverness on Christmas Eve, when they will be looking to pick up their fourth victory on the bounce.
