PEDRO CAIXINHA hopes Josh Windass can realise his ‘huge potential’ at Rangers as he looks to bring out the best in the midfielder this season.

Windass opened the scoring for the Gers in their win over Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend as he made the most of his chance to impress at Hillsborough.

The Englishman made 27 appearances in Light Blue last term but ended a frustrating campaign with just one goal to his name.

Now Caixinha believes there is plenty more to come from the 25-year-old as the Gers prepare for their Premiership opener with Motherwell on Sunday.

He told RangersTV: “Josh is a nice boy and a very good player, with huge potential. We just need to work with him on the mental side in order for him to have more self-confidence and to believe more in himself.

“We’re looking for him to have a more regular state of play and we want more from him.

“He played more in the wide area and I think it suits him better changing the pattern of playing wide and helping inside, playing between the lines and more connections with the strikers and central midfielders.

“That is what Josh can give to us and he is doing really well and is going to help us definitely and will make sure that the team and squad is more competitive by having more options for us.”
