Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers parted company with Mark Warburton at the weekend.

Martyn Waghorn has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he may never speak to former Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton again.

Warburton parted company with Rangers at the weekend, after the Ibrox side’s poor start to the season.

Rangers are currently in third place in the Scottish Premiership table, and the pressure has been rising on Warburton for weeks.

Rangers managed to overcome the difficulty of losing their manager, by beating Morton 2-1 in their most recent fixture.

And Waghorn’s words seem to suggest that he is not too disappointed by Warburton’s departure.

“I’ve not spoken to him,” the striker said. “Obviously, he’s been away for different reasons. I was focussing on the game and it was important to be in the right frame of mind if called upon.

“Whether I will speak to him in the future, I don’t know. I’m more interested in playing for Rangers right now.”

Warburton was the man who brought Waghorn to Rangers, and the former Wigan Athletic man enjoyed great success last season.

However, Waghorn has struggled to be as prolific this time around, and he has failed to hold down a place in Rangers’ first-team.

As things stand, Alex McLeish is the current favourite with the bookies’ to take over at Rangers.

The Glasgow side are next in action at the weekend, when they face Dundee.
