Rangers stars warned that one thing must change as Ibrox legend reveals creeping 'pressure' they face

Walters says Rangers wingers Kim, Bouanani and Gassama must improve their goal and assist numbers to succeed at Ibrox, drawing on his own experience of the pressure the role demands.

Mark Walters, a Rangers legend who played for the club in the late 1980s and early 1990s, has offered insight into the demands placed on wide players at Ibrox. Speaking about the current Rangers wingers—Minsu Kim, Badredine Bouanani and Djeidi Gassama—Walters stressed that creating chances is paramount, but that goals and assists are what ultimately define a winger's success at the club.

Walters recalled his own experience arriving at Rangers from Aston Villa under Graeme Souness and Walter Smith, and the challenge of eventually replacing Ibrox icon Davie Cooper. He won three titles and a League Cup during his spell.

Reflecting on what it takes to succeed in the role, Walters emphasized the need to be brave, to demand the ball even under pressure, and to maintain high standards—he himself always aimed for double-figure goal tallies despite playing out wide.

While acknowledging that Kim, Bouanani and Gassama show good attitude and desire to make things happen, Walters noted they have not yet been rewarded with the goals and assists that every wide player is judged on. He believes that will need to change if they are to truly cut it at Rangers under Derek McInnes.
