Mark Warburton is not worried about Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers just yet.
Mark Warburton has told STV that he is refusing to get carried away by Rangers’ indifferent form.
Rangers’ two-match winning streak in the Scottish Premiership came to an end last night when St Johnstone left Ibrox with a 1-1 draw.
That stalemate saw the Gers remain fifth in Scotland’s top flight after winning 16 points from a possible 30 on their return to the big time.
Only two sides in the division – Ross County and Dundee – have scored less than the Glasgow giants’ haul of 12 goals so far and overall it is not the fairytale return that Rangers fans would have been dreaming of before the season kicked off in August.
That being said, Warburton’s side, who host Kilmarnock on Saturday, could potentially finish the weekend in second spot, and the 54-year-old says the ever-changing complexion of the league table is among the reasons why he cannot get concerned about things just yet.
Asked by STV if he was growing worried, the ex-Brentford boss said: “When you are early in the season then two results can change the whole landscape of the league table.
“I read so and so is top or so and so is near the bottom after three games, they win two games and they are second.
“We are still early in the season and you win the game last night, where would we have been in the table?”
They are nine points behind Celtic – who have a game in hand – so a title win this season looks extremely unlikely, but finishing second would represent a good first season back in Scotland’s top tier.
