Nicolas Raskin insists that Rangers are still very much in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.
Rangers managed to secure a hard-fought home victory against Heart of Midlothian on Sunday, despite not being at their best, keeping them nine points behind the league leaders.
Currently, Celtic and Aberdeen sit at the top of the table, both on 31 points after 11 games, with Celtic leading due to a superior goal difference.
But Raskin is adamant that third-placed Gers aren't out of contention yet.
Speaking to Premier Sports after the full-time whistle at Ibrox, the Rangers midfielder said: "Yeah I think we are doing quite good. We would like to score more goals to put ourselves so we are not stressing into the end of the game. But it's always difficult after a European game.
"It was a long flight, we came back late, so we are just happy with the win and we will continue."

Asked if trailing Celtic and Aberdeen by a significant margin can start to play on the mind of the Rangers squad, Raskin replied: "No, we're not feeling the pressure. We focus on ourselves. We're taking it game after game.
"We know what we have to do. We know we've lost points and we know we have to get them back. But the season is still long and we're trying to take it game by game and do our best. It's not done yet."
