Colson: We Need To Keep Going

MICHELLE COLSON says Rangers must treat their Sky Sports Cup quarter-final tie like any other game.

The Light Blues continue their defence of the trophy with a visit of SWPL 2 side Boroughmuir Thistle this weekend as they look to book their place in the last four of the competition.

Speaking to RangersTV ahead of their last eight clash at Broadwood Stadium on Sunday, the defender said: “For me there is no difference if you play such team or one of the bigger ones. If you want to win every prize you need to win every game and which team you play against shouldn't matter.

“It is important for the whole team to want to win every trophy in this league. It is no different from this one so we just need to keep going, keep sticking to the basics and improving our level with regards to last Sunday.

The centre-back was on target for the first time in a Rangers jersey in their most recent win over Spartans as she reflected on the moment and being named as one of the league’s standout performers for her showing.

She continued: “It was definitely a nice feeling. It is also expected from me that at corners that I should be in the right spot. It was perfect delivery from Lizzie so it was nice to help the team with a goal.

“It gives me a lot of confidence. The girls told me in the gym so it is nice to be recognised and to be in the team of the week. It only gives me more motivation to keep going.

The Belgian summed up her time in Scottish football so far having made the switch to the Gers in the summer and says all of her teammates have played a part in helping her settle into a new country for the first time.

She added: “I would say Scotland is very nice to be in. Definitely in the winter and autumn. I really enjoy all the parts in the autumn, the leaves from the trees and everything so it is nice to be here, drink a coffee, be in the club. It is a really nice team to be in so I am happy.

“I would say I expected it to be scarier. The team is really friendly, everyone takes me into the group and it is going really good, I enjoy it.

“Everyone has helped. I live with Kirsty Howat which is very nice. If I have a question she always helps out and everyone in the team helps by saying this is a nice place or that is a nice place, can we go together for a coffee. I am really enjoying it.”
