Charlie Lindsay insists Rangers exit can help fulfil ambitions after first class Ibrox education

Determined Charlie Lindsay is confident he can now net his first-team goal after leaving Rangers.

Lindsay said: “I just want to go to a club who are ambitious because I want to kick on. There is some interest from some big clubs in England, so we will see what develops. It is nice to hear there is interest but you can’t look into that too much. I just need to keep working hard. I have been training hard to make sure I am in the best shape wherever I end up next season. I want to push to get first-team minutes and to keep getting better as a player and a person.

Lindsay made a big impact with the Rangers’ second string last season, netting 20 goals and chipping in with 14 assists. He believes he has left Ibrox with a top-level footballing education.
