Bojan Miovski insisted Rangers players felt as frustrated as the fans and urged an immediate return to winning ways at Falkirk on Sunday.
The Light Blues slumped to a 2-1 Europa League defeat to Sturm Graz in Austria on Thursday night to make it make it zero points from six in the league phase of the competition and disgruntled supporters stepped up their already-fierce criticism of Russell Martin.
The under-fire Rangers boss has won just five games from 16 since taking over the hot seat in the summer, while the Ibrox club has to look back to December 8, 2024 for their last clean sheet away from home, a 3-0 win at Ross County.
In that time, under three different management teams, Rangers have conceded 45 goals in 23 matches outside of Govan.
Miovski addressed the growing concerns of the fans, around 1,000 of whom travelled to the Merkur Arena in Graz to see their side go two down by the interval through goals from Tomi Horvat and Otar Kiteishvili before an early second-half strike from Djeidi Gassama sparked a fightback which fell short.
The 26-year-old North Macedonia striker, who signed from Spanish side Girona on a four-year deal in the summer, looked ahead to visiting the Bairns in the William Hill Premiership.
He said: “In this football club we don’t have time. We need to start winning games.
“We feel frustrated as well because we are not winning games.
“Of course, we will give everything from every player, give everything on the pitch to start winning games.
“We have good players, to be honest. We have a really good squad. We don’t show this on the pitch at the moment, we are not consistent.
“But some parts of the game we show that we have a really good squad and we can hurt everyone, so we need to start to have this consistency because in this club, we must win games.
“The first half was not good enough. We conceded two cheap goals. We worked really hard to score that goal, but we conceded very easily.
“It was, to be honest, a really bad first half. But we were better in the second half.
“We were aggressive. We made fouls when we needed. We scored that early goal and I think we gave everything to score that equaliser – but it was not good enough.
“We put everything into the last couple of minutes because it was 2-1. We put everything forward to score that equaliser because for us, it was so important to score that goal.
“But in the end it was not enough. They defended really well and we are – of course – disappointed.”
With 18 European points still up for grabs, the former Aberdeen striker remained confident that the Ibrox side could still qualify through to the knockout stages.
He said: “Yeah, of course. There are still six games to play.
“We need to show a better performance, of course, but we as a team need to start winning games.”
