Josh Windass has explained that in addition to Graeme Murty giving him a lot of confidence, the Rangers interim boss is also brutally honest when it comes to assessing the midfielder’s performances.
The Gers, who appointed Murty as their interim manager after sacking Pedro Caixinha at the end of October, confirmed earlier in the month that the 43-year-old will stay in the role until the end of the year at least.
Windass has been performing well under Murty, scoring four times and providing two assists in seven Scottish Premiership games, whereas he managed just a goal and two assists in nine league outings before the Under-20s boss took charge of the first team this season.
And the 23-year-old insisted that while Murty provides him with a lot of confidence, he is also always honest when evaluating his displays.
“I’ve known Murty for quite a while now”, Windass said on Rangers TV.

“He gives me a lot of confidence, he praises my performances and he hammers me if I’m not playing very well.
“But I think that’s what you need, you need a lot of honesty.
“He tells me when I’m good, he tells me when I’m bad and he gives me tips on how to improve.
“He has been brilliant since he has come in and all the lads feel the same.”
Murty was in temporary charge of the first team last season as well after the departure of Mark Warburton in February.
