DANNY WILSON hopes he can keep experiencing that winning feeling after two storming starts to the season in successive campaigns.

The defender was part of the Hearts side that burst out of the traps in impressive style last term as they laid down an early marker of their Championship title intentions and went on to clinch a quick fire return to the top flight.

This term, he is repeating the trick with Rangers as Mark Warburton’s side look to follow the Jambos’ lead and secure a Premiership berth sooner rather than later.

Wilson has only suffered a handful of defeats since the start of last season and he is keen to keep up the momentum after helping the Light Blues to nine successive triumphs in the second tier.

He said: “Winning is a good habit to get into and over the past season or so it’s one I’ve had, so long may it continue.

“Coming back I have a great response from the fans and I was delighted to be welcomed back, I am really enjoying my football right now and enjoying my life off the pitch.

“I have tried my best for the fans so far, sometimes it has been good and sometimes it could be better but I will always give my all.”

It has been a hugely encouraging start to the campaign for Rangers as they have swept all before them in the opening weeks of the Championship title race.

A League Cup loss at home to St Johnstone is the only black mark on their report card so far as Warburton’s side came up short in their first test against top flight opposition.

Rangers will return to action next weekend when they host Queen of the South aiming to make it ten from ten in Championship.

And Wilson hopes there is plenty more to come from the Light Blues as they look to pull away and clinch promotion this term.

He said: “It’s been a great start, the wins are the most important thing and I don’t think we should let the cup defeat overshadow what we have done so far.

“We are only a couple of months into this new project as it is and it’s something we’re working on day by day and it will only get better.

“We find ourselves in a good position in the league and that is the most important thing, going forward we just need to continue with that.

“You always hope it goes this well and other teams in and around us have dropped points in the last few weeks and we’ve managed to build ourselves a gap.

“If we can continue to win games then everything else will take care of itself, hopefully teams around us continue to slip up and we push on and build a bigger gap.”

While much of the focus has been on the attacking threat Warburton’s new look side have posed in the opening weeks of the campaign, Wilson has played his part in Rangers’ impressive run.

It has been a solid start to his second spell at Ibrox for the 23-year-old, who has been joined at the heart of the defence by summer recruits Rob Kiernan and Dominic Ball at various stages of the campaign.

And Wilson has been impressed with how the pair have settled in following their switches from Wigan and Tottenham respectively.

“They are good guys on and off the pitch,” he told rangers.co.uk.

“I have played with Rob more but that is no slight on Dom because he has been great when he’s come in and whenever he has been asked to play he has done fantastically well.

“There is real competition amongst us, as there is within the rest of team and that’s what makes us so competitive.”
