Mark Warburton’s Glasgow Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton has suggested to The Telegraph that Wes Foderingham and Josh Windass are not finding it easy to play at Ibrox.
Foderingham, who is 25 years of age and plays as a goalkeeper, joined Rangers in the summer of 2015 after leaving Swindon Town at the end of the 2014-15 campaign.
Windass, who is 22 years of age and plays as a midfielder, moved to the Gers in the summer of 2016 after leaving Accrington Stanley at the end of last season.
Both Foderingham and Windass have established themselves as important players in the current Rangers team.
The Gers, who won automatic promotion from the Scottish Championship at the end of last season, are aiming to compete with Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title this campaign.

Rangers manager Warburton has suggested that Foderingham and Windass are not finding it easy to play at Ibrox due to the huge number of fans at the stadium for each and every home game.
“It’s hard for Wes, a young goalkeeper who was at Swindon, playing in front of 5,000 or 6,000 fans,” Warburton told The Telegraph. “At Ibrox it’s 50,000 people — get used to it.
“I look at Josh Windass. I asked him where he was playing this time last year. From Accrington Stanley in front of 1500 people to 50,000 at Ibrox. It’s a huge jump.
“There’s David Weir saying he played with seasoned internationals who took six months to get used to the demands and expectation here, yet we have to say to Josh ‘go out and enjoy it’. It takes time to adjust. Supporters aren’t going to change.”
