JASON HOLT reckons confidence has been the key to Josh Windass’ upturn in form for Rangers this term.

The Englishman continued his recent scoring streak at Easter Road on Wednesday night as Graeme Murty’s side came from behind to clinch a crucial Premiership win.

Windass’ fifth goal in eight matches was followed by Alfredo Morelos’ second in as many outings as the Gers turned the tables on Hibernian.

Interim boss Murty admitted after the 2-1 win that Windass can be a frustrating figure as he attempts to find some consistency in his game.

And Holt believes there is still plenty more to come from the 23-year-old as he looks to firmly establish himself at Ibrox this term.

He said: “He has been doing great. Previously he was doing well but now he is adding goals to his game and it makes a real different. We are all delighted for Josh because we know what he can bring to the team.

“He has done well previously and now he is adding goals to his game. If he is helping out the team, we are delighted. We just want to keep seeing him progress as a player.

“Most of the boys have got a really good understanding with him. We work on the training pitch every day and know what his qualities are.

“He has shown this season the qualities he has got and the character he has got. When things aren’t going well, he is always available on the pitch. If we can keep seeing him progress we will all be delighted.

“I think it is probably a bit of belief and confidence to be honest. He has been doing well and once you get that first goal you find yourself going on a wee run and everything you touch seems to go in the back of the net. I think that has been the case for Josh and long may that continue.”

The goals from Windass and Morelos proved to be good enough for Rangers as Neil Lennon’s side were left with nothing to show for their efforts on home soil.

The Light Blues survived a penalty scare late on but put in a resolute defensive shift as they dug in to secure a fourth successive Premiership victory.

It has been an impressive few weeks for Murty’s side and midfielder Holt believes the hard-fought win showed the spirit in the Ibrox camp.

He said: “It says a lot and it has been really evident in the last two or three weeks.

“Especially in the second half, we had to dig in massively and show real determination and I think the spirit saw us through.

“I have said before that since Murts has come in all the boys have thoroughly enjoyed working under him.

“He always gives 100 per cent and that is all you can ask. He has done really well and the boys really enjoy working under him.

“To be honest, I would have preferred it if we had got the ball down and passed it a bit more but sometimes you need to do that side of the game.

“That was the case, especially in the second half when we had to show real determination.

“It wasn’t pretty at times but we came away with the three points and that is the main thing.”
