Ibrox side Danny Wilson have kept three clean sheets in their first four matches under Pedro Caixinha’s stewardship.
Pedro Caixinha has suggested on Glasgow Rangers’ official website that he will build his defence around Danny Wilson over the coming years.
Wilson has played every minute of Rangers’ matches, since Caixinha took charge.
The 25-year-old has helped Rangers keep three clean sheets in their last four matches, with his performances generally impressing.
And Caixinha believes that Wilson can progress to become a majorly important player for the Ibrox side.
“I think Danny can be the leader of this defence for the coming years. He is only 25 and he is a very skillful player, he is aggressive when he needs to be aggressive,” he said.
“He knows how to build up from the back and he has a fantastic left foot and can either build up from the back. He can play long balls wide, long diagonal balls and finding spaces by the domino principle to find the space between the lines.”
Caixinha is likely to want to upgrade his options in central-defence in the summer, but it seems that Wilson will remain a key part of his first-team set up at Rangers.
Wilson now looks likely to play a key role for Rangers over the remainder of the campaign.
Rangers are chasing Aberdeen in second place, after beating the Dons at Pittodrie last weekend.
Rangers are next in action later today, when they take on Partick at Ibrox.
