Emmanuel Fernandez insists he will thrive under the pressure at Rangers as he begins to at last chalk up first-team appearances.

The 24-year-old defender signed from Peterborough in the summer for a reported fee of £3m when Russell Martin was boss but made only his third start for the Light Blues under his successor Danny Rohl against Livingston at Ibrox last month, where he opened the scoring in the narrow 2-1 win.

With injuries to fellow centre-backs John Souttar and Derek Cornelius, Fernandez kept his place for the home 1-1 Europa League draw against Braga last Thursday night and the goalless William Hill Premiership draw against Falkirk at Ibrox on Sunday, where fans’ frustrations were again heard loud and clear after more points were dropped.
