Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are currently in fifth place in the Scottish Premiership table.

Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton has told the Scottish Sun that his side’s players must realise that the Ibrox crowd demand excellence.

Rangers were booed off yesterday, after they could only manage to draw with St. Johnstone.

The Light Blues were once again off the pace, as Warburton’s side laboured to a 1-1 draw.

And Rangers fans were not happy with what was served up in front of them.

Rangers supporters audibly voiced their discontent, with frustrations growing around Ibrox at their side’s poor start in the Scottish Premiership.

And Warburton said: “It’s part of playing for Rangers. People ask about the expectations.

“It’s a demanding crowd because they’re used to success.

The players have to recognise it’s an expectant crowd – and quite rightly.

“We have to respect that and learn from that tonight. We know what the crowd wants, they’re magnificent.”

Rangers fell behind against St. Johnstone early on, before Joe Garner did manage to net an equaliser.

Rangers were unable to push on after Garner hit the back of the net, though, and the points were shared.

The draw leaves Rangers still sat in fifth place in the Scottish Premiership table, but they have now slipped even further behind Celtic.

The Bhoys are now nine points clear of Warburton’s men, with the pressure building on Rangers to start hitting a good run of form soon.
