LEE HODSON insists he is only focused on Premiership points and not his Ibrox future as he enters the final days of the season.

The full-back returned to the starting line-up for the win over Hearts on Saturday and could be handed another chance to impress by boss Pedro Caixinha against Aberdeen tonight.

Hodson still has two years remaining on his Light Blues deal and he will only look to the summer after the trip to St Johnstone this weekend.

He said: “My main focus is the games and the rest will fall into place. Once these two games are finished, I can worry about that.

“My main focus at the moment is the last two games of the season and making sure we can finish on a positive note. If we can get six points, we can finish on a high.

“That is my main focus. I am not thinking about the other side of it at the moment.

“Every player wants to be playing but you have got to respect the decisions being made.

“That is football. One week you are in the team and the next you could be out.

“It has been frustrating because you want to play as much as you can. When I am called upon, I need to show the manager what I can do and do the best I can.

“Everyone wants to be here next season but I haven’t really thought about what will happen. My focus is on these last two games, if I am playing.

“I want to do as well as I can and finish on a high. That puts us in good stead when we come back from our break and preparing for our first game in Europe.”

It has been a frustrating few weeks for Hodson as he has found himself out of action and seen youngster Myles Beerman step into the left-back berth vacated by Lee Wallace.

The Northern Irishman has made 20 appearances in his first campaign at Ibrox as he has filled in on both sides of the Gers’ back four.

And he has enjoyed working with new boss Caixinha as the Portuguese has implemented his blueprint at Auchenhowie.

Hodson said: “Every manager is different and every manager will come in with their own philosophy of how they want to play and set up their team. Everyone is different so every manager has different demands on their players.

“Since the manager has come in, you can see he is very passionate, he is behind the lads 100 per cent, he wants us to work hard and have that fight and determination, which as players we have.

“If you don’t have that as a professional then you are in the wrong game. The manager, with his passion and drive, pushes us on as a squad.”

After taking on the Saints on Sunday, Caixinha will have just a couple of weeks to overhaul his Ibrox ranks before Rangers return to competitive action in the Europa League next month.

But Hodson will face another hectic summer schedule if he is called up for international duty against New Zealand and Azerbaijan by boss Michael O’Neill.

He said: “I think I’ll be okay. We have a friendly on June 2 so we’ll probably meet up around the 28th or 29th.

“If I’m in the squad I’ll be back a week earlier than the boys. The Azerbaijan game is on the 10th so I’d be back and ready to go with the boys on the 11th. It’s been the same with Niall McGinn.

“You make sacrifices as a footballer but it’s about the memories you make when you are playing for a big club like Rangers.

“You’ll happily sacrifice things like holidays to play in Europe. Every player would choose to play in Europe every week than have a longer holiday.”
