JASON HOLT is confident Rangers’ efforts at Auchenhowie will pay off at Ibrox when they return to action this weekend.

Boss Pedro Caixinha lead the Light Blues to a 4-0 win over Hamilton on his dugout debut before the international break.

The Portuguese has spent recent days putting his squad through their paces on the training ground as attentions turn to the visit of Motherwell.

Holt was handed a start for the Accies win as he joined Jon Toral in the middle of the park and the Gers switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Now the 24-year-old hopes Rangers can take another step in the right direction when they face the Steelmen on Saturday.

“We had a good week of training last week, I think it gave the gaffer a chance to work with the players and get more of his ideas across and put them into practice in the training game on Saturday,” Holt told RangersTV.

“Every training session is intense, it is always intense but the coaching since the gaffer has come in has been intense and this week was no different.

“It gave the manager a chance to work with the players and work on more things that he want us to put into practise in the games.

“I think every manager has different styles, takes on the game and things they want to do so the new manager is no different and he has come in and he has ideas.

“The main thing has been some of the stuff that we put into play against Hamilton was getting the ball and getting it forward at the earliest opportunity and getting it wide, with people in the box and attacking the space aggressively.

“All the players have enjoyed it since the manager and his team came in, like I said the training has been high intensity and of a really good quality.”
