Rangers striker Jon Daly: we want to win matches comfortably and show we mean business The manager wasn't happy with that and, to be fair, neither were the players. We want to score goals and plenty of them. Our target now is not just to win every game but to win it comfortably and lay down a marker to let everyone know that we mean business this year. Daly believes that the rout of Airdrie was all the evidence needed to claim that the Scottish League Cup defeat at Forfar was merely a blip. "Everything around that game was difficult - the conditions and, especially, the pitch," he claimed. Artificial surfaces are tough to play on when they're dry. Airdrie's pitch was wet, which made it easier to knock the ball around and I think you saw that with some of the goals we scored. The club is in a strong position at the moment. We have a strong squad, the manager has brought in eight players and there will be plenty of competition for places. It should keep everyone on their toes and I think that's what you need. If you're not at it then someone else will come in and take your place. At the moment it's up to the boys who have the shirts to earn the right to keep them when all the new signings become eligible. Daly was pleased to finally open his account for Rangers with a brace against Airdrie after failing to find the net in his first three starts, a spell which led him to wonder if he would ever find the net again. "It was a relief," he said. As a striker you want to get off the mark as quickly as possible when you sign for a new club. Looking back, I could probably have had three or four against Brechin but it was just one of those days where it didn't happen for me. Then I hit the post against Stranraer and you start to wonder if it's ever going to happen for you but I've just stuck with it and got off the mark against Airdrie. I'm absolutely delighted with that. Now, having exhausted his allocated number of games as a trialist, he and Law will miss both Tuesday's Ramsden's Cup tie against Berwick and Saturday's home league match against East Fife. "Obviously, you want to play in every game but the next one will only be a few weeks away," he said. It's frustrating but that's probably just me being selfish - there are other lads who have had to sit on the sidelines and wait their turn as well. That's particularly the case for the boys who've come in from abroad because they haven't been able to play at all. It's worse for them because Nicky and I have been lucky enough to get a few games in but we're all raring to go once the embargo is lifted.
