Rangers star shows pre-season workout desire amid 'attitude questions'

Rangers star Josh McPake has been working hard ahead of the Ibrox club's pre-season, in a bid to prove doubters wrong amid claims that he has an attitude problem.

The Coatbridge 20-year-old has been training on his own with Commando X-Fit in Hillington Park to build up his fitness ahead of the new season.

One video is captioned 'Day 14 in the gym and back out on the pitch', and another says 'Not long now #preseason'.

McPake has been at Rangers since 2019 and has been on loan at Dundee, Morton, Harrogate Town, Morecambe and Tranmere Rovers in recent seasons.

He's contracted until 2024 at Ibrox, but speculation has linked him with loan moves to clubs as far-ranging as Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Hartlepool United and Hapoel Be'Er Sheva in Israel.

There were also rumours last season that Rangers were looking to sever the play-maker's contract due to his attitude.

But a series of videos on McPake's social media channels shows him working out at the Glasgow gym ahead of pre-season training with Rangers, which starts back on June 27.
