Rangers boss Graeme Murty says he will speak to Josh Windass over his celebration against Partick Thistle and hints Alfredo Morelos may have had his head turned by intrest from China.

Rangers boss Graeme Murty will "get to the bottom" of why Josh Windass made a 'shush' gesture towards Rangers fans after scoring the opener in Tuesday's 2-0 win at Partick Thistle.

The 24-year-old Light Blues attacker put his finger to his lips as he wheeled away in front of the Jackie Husband Stand, which houses away supporters, after dispatching a Daniel Candeias pass in the 39th minute.

Right-back James Tavernier doubled the visitors' advantage with another moment of quality just before the hour mark, his 20-yard drive sealing the triumph which took the Ibrox men within three points of second-placed Aberdeen in the Ladbrokes Premiership table.

Of the Windass incident, Murty said: "I didn't see it. I will talk to him about it. I don't know why he has done it, if he has done. But to be perfectly honest I don't know why Josh does many things that he does.

"I will have a chat with him and see what he meant by it and we will get to the bottom of it eventually.

"But let's talk about the goal - the goal was outstanding. He has the execution of the highest order and then in the next breath, he will do something that will make you scratch your head.

"That is the bit he has to get right, that is the bit that will take him to the next level because his top level is great."

Murty described the performance as "hard-nosed and professional" following Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Hibernian.

He said: "It wasn't as fluid, inspiring or imposing as I would have liked, but we got the result we wanted.

"I saw some nice bits and some outstanding play, particularly both the goals, and it is pleasing to get a clean sheet and come away with three points."
