Scott Arfield insists Rangers feel like they can win EVERY game as fearsome Alfredo Morelos impact spelled out

Rangers goalscorer Scott Arfield insists the champions feel the same amount of pressure whether they're trailing or trailblazing in the title race.

And after thumping Hearts 5-0 he insists the backing of the Ibrox faithful has his side believing they can win EVERY match.

From an advantage as high as six at times to suddenly trailing in the Premiership title race, Sunday afternoon was a real test of Rangers' title race mettle.

But Arfield was one of four scorers with Glen Kamara and Fashion Sakala also notching after Alfredo Morelos bagged twice.

It was the perfect response to the 3-0 loss at Celtic on Wednesday night and he told Sky Sports: "You're always under pressure at this football club.

"It doesn't matter if you're behind in the league or you're winning the league at this time.

"There's a hell of a long way to go, 13 games to go, a lot more points to play for and a lot more football.

"It's going to be a cracking end and hopefully we can go on a run now.

"With the fans behind us we feel as if we can win every game and hopefully at the end of May it will be a good one."

Morelos' double proved why fans were right to feel sore about his intercontinental journey during the winter internationals.

He didn't play a single minute for Colombia and was sorely missed in midweek and for the draw in Dingwall last weekend.

Arfield is just delighted to get the striker back as he added: "He's a big player for us, there's no doubt about that.

"He should have had his hat-trick, I think he'll be disappointed not doing so, but what a performance from him.

"I think he just scares defenders when they see his name.

"Everything about him, his all round ability and putting the ball in the back of the net, that's what wins games.

"It's wonderful to have him back and hopefully he can go on a run now."
