MARK WARBURTON insists he isn’t worried that Rangers have lost their cutting edge in the final third in recent weeks as the goals have dried up for the Light Blues.

After netting four against Hibernian and Livingston and six and five against Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath respectively earlier this year, the Gers have found the net just twice in their last three outings.

Rangers failed to score for the first time this term as they drew 0-0 with Kilmarnock on Saturday but boss Warburton said: “I think if there are alarm bells after that then there is an issue. [Against Kilmarnock] we showed good quality on the football, it was just lacking that killer touch in the box.

“Waggy has been outstanding this season and nine times out of 10 he’ll score that. We had Tav hit the post, Danny hitting the bar, chances for Harry and Jason.

“Lee Wallace forced a couple of saves, so all over the park first and second half we created good chances and on another day we would have got three or four.

“It’s the random nature of football. Sometimes it drops your way be it a penalty kick or a corner or a goal kick or an offside, whatever it might be.

“The random events of football sometimes go your way, sometimes they don’t. I think the last couple of games they haven’t gone our way but I’m delighted with the quality of football.”

The one positive to take from the Killie Scottish Cup clash for Warburton was the return of midfielder Jason Holt.

The 22-year-old has now recovered from a knee injury and is in line to face Alloa this weekend.

Warburton said: “His movement, his energy, his quality and his hunger to get back and defend as well as go forward.

“He adopts positions which hurt the opposition, he finds pockets of space and he’s constantly moving. He does it with a real dynamism about his movement.

“So he’s been superb for us, he’s earned his new contract, and I’m looking forward to Jason getting better and better.”
