Rangers defender Danny Wilson still targeting title push

Danny Wilson insists Rangers have not altered their ambitions for the season, despite slipping into the bottom half of the Scottish Premiership after a disappointing start to the campaign.
Gers were expected to put up a fight for Celtic's crown as they made their return to the top flight.
But ahead of Saturday's game with Partick Thistle at Ibrox, Mark Warburton's side find themselves languishing in seventh place after managing just two wins from seven games, with their last game ending in a 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen.
In contrast, Celtic are already seven points ahead at the top of the table with a game in hand, but defender Wilson remains confident they can close the gap on their rivals.
"We won't change our ambitions because of a couple of bad results or a slow start to the season because we need to be challenging near the top," he said.
"We'll go into Saturday's game looking for three points and we know we need to start moving up the table because where we are is not where we want to be.
"Had we won the game at Aberdeen at the weekend we would have been second but as it happens we are down to seventh - but I wouldn't read too much into that right now.
"It's still fairly tight from second downwards so we need to get ourselves back up there and challenge at the right end of the table.
"If you put the performances in the points will come but in saying that we have played very well and maybe not got what we fully deserved from the game.
"That is how football works sometimes, we are not just going to go back to basics and start doing things that aren't what we do."
