CONNOR GOLDSON insists Rangers must target silverware in his first season at Ibrox as Steven Gerrard looks to turn the tables on double treble winners Celtic.

The Light Blues have been left empty handed in the last two campaigns as their Old Firm rivals have swept the board under boss Brendan Rodgers.

Goldson has moved to Ibrox from Brighton in a £3million deal and is determined to give supporters a reason to be cheerful this term.

He said: “We have got to want to win something. I think it has been a few years now since Rangers have won anything.

“With the fanbase and the size of the club, the fans are craving success. That was a reason for me coming here – I want to come here and win things.

“That has got to be our aim. We have to do as well as we can in the league, we have to do as well as we can in the cups and as well as we can in the Europa League.

“That’s what this football club demands. You have to go out every single game and do well. We are going to have to get a good team spirit together, find a way of playing and stick to it. Then it is about being mentally strong and going out and winning games.

“Definitely [we can challenge]. I think there are good players here.

“I feel there is a happiness about people here and a good team spirit. You get the sense the group is quite strong.

“The few new boys have settled in quite well and that is credit to the boys who were already here. They have brought us all in together.

“I think we are in a good position. The manager is a looking to bring in another few new faces and I think we’ll have a good squad.”

Rangers have a chance to lay down a marker of their title intentions during their tricky trips to Pittodrie and Parkhead in the first month of the season.

And Goldson reckons belief will be key for the Gers as they look to hit the ground running under the guidance of Liverpool legend Gerrard.

He said: “Listen, everyone knows we are going to go into the season being underdogs. But that is something you have to do in football and underdogs can always win things.

“Obviously, Celtic have had a good few years but we have to now put that behind us. It’s a new season, a fresh season and if we approach every game right – whether it be the smallest game in the league or the Celtic game – we have to go into every game believing we can win them.

“Of course [I am excited about the Old Firm games]. But at the moment I’m just looking forward to the first game of the season.

“To be honest, I’m just looking forward to the first friendly and playing at Ibrox. Then it will be the Europa League games and Aberdeen in the first game in the league.”
