Rangers manager Mark Warburton has told The Express that he is not under any pressure regarding his position at the club.
The Gers have not made a great start to the 2016-17 Scottish Premiership campaign after winning the Scottish Championship title with ease last season.
The Ibrox outfit are second in the league table at the moment with eight points from four matches.
Rangers are a point behind league leaders and Old Firm rivals Celtic, who have a game in hand.

Warburton’s side will take on Celtic away from home at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
The Rangers manager has revealed that he was asked if his position at the club is under threat.
The former Brentford boss has also dismissed suggestions that the Gers’ season will be over if they lose to Celtic on Saturday afternoon.

“I was asked if my position was tenable after just three games,” Warburton told The Express. “Wow. Wow.
“You look at it and go, ‘Really?’ But that is the nature of it. I won’t name the individual. You just look and go, ‘Really?’.
“The other question was that if we lose at Celtic, the season is over. Scottish football needs to have some common sense.”
Warburton has done a brilliant job at Rangers since being appointed the Scottish club’s manager in the summer of 2015.
While many Rangers fans will expect the team to compete with Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title this season, finishing second will not be a failure given the difference in the quality between the two teams and in the clubs’ financial strengths.
