KENNY McDOWALL says Rangers can handle the weight of expectation as fans look for them to deliver the SPL title this season.

 

The Light Blues get back to league business on Saturday after two cup ties when they host Hearts.

 

Barry Ferguson and Kenny McDowallWith just 10 games to go and this match presenting a chance to go top of the table, it's a fixture Walter Smith's men are determined to win.

 

They know they're under pressure to bring the championship back to Ibrox for the first time since May 2005.

 

And McDowall insists that he, the rest of the management and the playing squad are all ready to meet that challenge head on.

 

The first-team coach said: "There's always pressure at Rangers and the players know that.

 

"When you don't achieve things and it's starting to cost the club money, it's a bit different.

 

"Rather than hoping to win, you find that you have to and that's when things are really cranked up.

 

"We're comfortable with having to handle that. It comes with the territory and we know we have to deliver trophies and championships.

 

"If you can't take the heat from that, I think you're in the wrong job but our players deal with it well and I think the coaching staff does too.

 

Walter Smith and Kenny McDowall"The manager's the master at it. He's been there and done it all before and he's passing his experience on to us and the players.

 

"For that, we're grateful and we absolutely feel we can get the SPL title back here this season. We've never said anything else.

 

"Our defeat in the Inverness game a couple of weeks ago was a blip we didn't need but we're still in the thick of things in the league.

 

"We'll take the Hearts match when it comes on Saturday, hopefully win that then look to kick on from there.

 

"It'll be a tough game and one in which we'll need to be on top form to get the result we're looking for.

 

"Once it has gone we'll then look at our situation, decide what needs to be done and push on once more."
