TOM Walsh today insisted the Rangers kids won't be affected by abuse from their own fans during the remaining games of the season.

Walsh was stunned when Gers skipper Lee McCulloch was booed by Ibrox supporters after his slip-up against Falkirk on Saturday.

But the 19-year-old winger revealed the flak hadn't upset him or fellow young guns Robbie Crawford, Ryan Hardie and Andy Murdoch.

And he insisted they were all looking forward to the massive SPFL Championship match with Hearts at Tynecastle this weekend - and then the Premiership Play-Offs.

He said: "It is disappointing. Jig has been great for Rangers. But we turned it around and got the fans back on our side. All you can do is just get on with your game.

"You have got no choice, you've just got to go and play. You can't let it affect you. You have to go and play your game. There is no point in dwelling on it. You have to show no fear."

Walsh, one of many youngsters given a regular chance since Stuart McCall took over as boss last month, revealed he is determined to make a greater impression.

The teenager saw his contemporary Hardie net a double on his first start against Dumbarton nine days ago and is keen to get his own name on the scorsheet.

He believes he can play a part in helping the Glasgow giants return to the top flight of Scottish football in the weeks ahead.

Walsh said: "It is great to have the confidence of the manager, but I am always wanting more for myself. I thought I was in and out of the game for long spells on Saturday. I want to be more involved.

"It was also frustrating for me hitting the post. I am desperate for a goal. Hopefully that will come in time. But it is great the manager is showing faith in us.

"We have got to show confidence in these games that we have coming up. We can't show any fear. If we do that then hopefully we can get back to where we were."
