MARK WARBURTON insists his Rangers players won’t get carried away by their charge towards the Championship title – even though he knows the Ibrox crowd will.

The Light Blues are eleven points clear of second-placed Hibernian with just ten games left this term and are well on course to clinch a Premiership return sooner rather than later.

Rangers will look to edge closer to the top flight when they face Raith Rovers at Ibrox tonight and Warburton hopes his side can give fans another reason to cheer.

He said: “It’s a good gap for us and we are in a good position but there are still 30 points left on the table and we haven’t won anything yet.

“It’s a big game against Raith and hopefully we can deliver a performance.

“We have to emphasise the message that we’ve won nothing. If we are sitting eight points clear with three games to go, I’d agree with you but right now there are 30 points left.

“I use the example of Leicester City last season - they looked like they were going out of the Premier League and had an unbelievable run to survive.

“Teams can put big runs together. You have eight victories out of 10 and put 24 points on the board and you are in great shape. We have to make sure we do that.

“They are excited, the level of passion in Scotland is different. Glasgow’s a football city.

“I always thought Arsenal - Tottenham was the biggest game in football. I’m a Tottenham fan, but I learned quickly the level of passion is really high and they follow the club.

“We use that with the players because it is a responsibility, 50,000 people and it’s not cheap following your team. So we use that and say go and send them home happy.

“We used that term and everyone laughed about it but it’s true. If you send 50,000 people home happy, we’re in a good place, we’ve got the three points and we’re moving forward.

“If they go home disgruntled then we’ve not delivered a performance.”

After seeing their advantage at the top of the table whittled away late last year, Rangers have embarked on an impressive recent run to all-but clinch the title.

Warburton’s side are on the brink of achieving their main aim this term but the Englishman insists the mentality of his players won’t change as the finishing line draws nearer.

He said: “I don’t think fear of failure is he right approach. Fear of failure just puts negativity just puts negativity in there.

“From our point of view, we’re in a great position, we have a responsibility to the fans, we had 47,000 fans on Saturday and that’s incredible.

“All we have to do it try to fill Ibrox out for every home game between now and the end of the season. If we can do that then we’ll be okay.

“There is no fear of failure, they know they are good players, they know they are a good squad, they know they’re in a good place and they’ve worked hard to be there.

“But we need to just get the job done and get over the line but it’s just one game at a time.

“That’s how we’ve done it since the very first game of the season against St Mirren and now we’re near the last quarter of the season and it’s just focus on one game at a time.

“But there’s no fear of failure because of how good they can be.”
