Under former boss Pedro Caixinha last season, Rangers fell at the first hurdle, and Gerrard is determined to avoid the same embarrassment.

Windass told the Ibrox club’s media channel that this is the toughest pre-season he has ever had.

Windass is not a player renowned for his workrate, and this could be a game changer for him.

Putting in the hard graft now should pay off, and it is a way for new manager Steven Gerrard to really get to know his players and their characters.

Steven Gerrard is unveiled as the new manager of Rangers football Club at Ibrox Stadium on May 4, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Gerrard has evidently decided that the team’s fitness was one of their shortcomings last season, and wants to put that right.

Rangers fans believe Gerrard has got his approach right, and welcome Windass’ comments…

A massive season for Rangers and Windass. Gerrard could be the making of him. The step up in performance required from season 2-3 is greater than 1-2. Let’s hope he makes it.

About time. Too long they have had it too easy. Fitness is key in pre season. A real workout is what they needed.

Sounds like this pre-season has been a wake up call for our players so far and about time too!! Too many players not earning their wages and playing for the club the way they should but glad to see that’s no longer going to be tolerated and long may it continue!!

All this tells us is that the last few seasons we were lacking in this department. We know we’re gong to be stronger and fitter this season and if we click tactically anything is possible.
