Glasgow Rangers agreed a pre-contract with Josh Windass in January when he was at Accrington Stanley.
Rangers-bound midfielder Josh Windass has revealed to The Glasgow Evening Times that Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman has wished him well at Ibrox.
Windass will be part of Scottish Premiership-bound Rangers next season, having agreed a pre-contract with the Glasgow giants back in January.
As reported by BBC Sport at the time, the 22-year-old midfielder was offered a four-year contract by the Gers.
The talented youngster has revealed that Stanley manager Coleman has wished him well at Rangers.
“My relationship with John Coleman is unbelievable and I owe him a lot,” Windass told The Glasgow Evening Times.
“He texted me when I left and that gave me real confidence. He said how good I had been for him and how he wanted me to do well at Rangers.
“There was no problem when I left. We are in a good place, myself and John, and I hope he does really well in the future.”
Windass is a talented young player, and he will be keen on impressing Rangers manager Mark Warburton during pre-season.
It is unlikely that the Englishman will start the 2016-17 campaign as a first-choice midfielder, but he certainly has a bright future at Ibrox.
The 22-year-old was one of the better players in League Two this past season despite an injury lay-off and helped Stanley finish in the playoffs.
The standard of football in the Scottish Premiership is much higher than that in League Two in England, and Windass could take a while to get used to the Scottish top flight.
