Josh Windass explains Sheffield Wednesday celebration as ex-Rangers ace in 'five stars on Uber' quip

Josh Windass joked he's got a 'five star' rating on Uber after the former Rangers man produced a bizarre celebration for Sheffield Wednesday.

The forward is having a purple patch in front of goal for the Owls who are edging towards ending a half-a-century wait for a trophy at the top of the English League One. Darren Moore's men sit top of the pile by three points with Windass scoring the only goal in a huge win over Portsmouth on Saturday. The ex-Light Blues man has notched 22 goals and assists across all competitions as part of the high-flying squad.

The 29-year-old also has ten goals in ten games for the Owls but produced a bizarre celebration upon his goal in the 11th minute of action. Windass sat down and pretended to drive while urging his team-mates to join him, something Wednesday fans quickly picked up on after the game.

The Englishman admits he was taxi driver for the day after some of the squad were snowed in and couldn't make training. Windass says he came to the rescue and quipped he now has a top rating on Uber.

He told the Star: “It’s just that a couple of the lads live near me, and I’ve got a big (BMW) X7 so the snow is no problem for me. A couple of them couldn’t get out of their drive, so I went to get them.

"I think the gaffer exaggerated a bit, and made out that I picked the whole squad up, but I did pick up a couple of them to get to training.

“I got five stars on my Uber rating! So that was the celebration, but Palms said I was left-hand drive in the celebration so I’ve got that all wrong.”
