McCrorie calls on Ranges to cut out costly errors
[SNS] Defender Ross McCrorie admits Rangers will have to cut out the costly errors if they are to challenge for silverware this season. Scotland cap McCrorie, 28, earned the first start of his second spell at the the club in Poland as Rangers went down 2-1 to Jagiellonia Bialystok in the first leg of their Europa League third round qualifier on Thursday. Both goals, along with the one conceded on the opening Premiership match-day at Dundee United, have frustrated manager Derek McInnes and McCrorie felt the same way but sees a bright future if they eradicate those mistakes. "We've got a new team here, we've got a lot of new players, I don't want to make any excuses, we've no time to dwell on these things," he told BBC Scotland. "We need to start winning games and start playing better as a whole and as a team, being more together, hopefully you'll see that in the next few games. "When you come to club like this, this is what you expect, you want that pressure to go out and win every game. That's the demand. "We're disappointed [not to win on Thursday], but we've still got a game against them to rectify it and go and try and progress to the next round." McCrorie wants Rangers' squad to make a statement after a tepid start to the season with Hibernian in their sights on Sunday. "They've got a lot of good players, and I know a few of the boys from being in Scotland previously," he added. "They're a good outfit but we need to stick to our principles and get back to winning ways. "You want to make a statement every week at this club, it's all about demanding and have that ruthless edge and that's what we're looking for and to not give teams chances. "We're looking to cut out those small mistakes that are killing us at the moment." McCrorie feels at home again at the start of his second spell at Ibrox and reckons he can make an impact. "I'm 28 now, I'm not the kid I was when I was here previously," he added. "I want to come here and make a big impact, take the pressure off my shoulders and make us a better outfit."
