Rangers loanee Ross McCrorie opens up on Portsmouth struggles as he vows to prove himself in England

Rangers loanee Ross McCrorie has vowed to prove himself at Portsmouth , despite a difficult start to the season.

The Scotland Under-21 international has made only eight appearances so far this term, and was dropped after a 2-2 draw with Burton on September 17.

For four games in a row he was an unused substitute, but the Rangers youngster returned to the team at right-back in a 1-0 win over Lincoln on Tuesday.

McCrorie told The News : "It is still early days. I don’t think it is a big issue as I was only out of the team for four games.

"Now I’m back in and it’s still early days in the season.

"We have got a lot of games to catch up on because there have been a lot of cancellations so we’ll see how it goes.

"Fans definitely haven’t seen the best of me. I think I’ve still got a lot to offer and I can certainly show how good I am.

"It is up to me really to earn a place to play. I’ll always give my all, I’m solid defensively and like to go forward quite a bit as well.

"I feel I still have a lot to give.

"‘I feel it’s quite easy to play at right-back because I grew up in the youth team playing there.

"It’s not really a big transition for me, I feel comfortable playing right-back.

"I don’t have a preference. I’m comfortable in both central midfield and right-back – I feel I’m equally adept at both.

"You’ve got to play well to earn the right to start. Hopefully I gave a good account of myself on Tuesday night."
