Rangers FC new signing Joe Dodoo not under pressure to perform

Joe Dodoo says he feels no pressure after signing for Rangers and that is partly down to the atmopshere he has felt in the dressing room.

The 21-year-old has only played nine first-team games but Mark Warburton has swooped on the highly rated youngster who is confident he can perform on the big stage.

Dodoo admits that in the few days he has been at Rangers he has sensed a similar spirit to that of Leicester's title winners.

Speaking to RangersTV the striker said: 'I am stepping out in front of 52,000 and that is the biggest positive you can have, they are your fans and they are here to cheer you on and support you.

'You can't feel pressure you just have to go there and play, play your heart out, win games, score goals and then everybody will be happy.'

'I am very excited, there are great facilities, the lads are great, the manager is great, the staff are great so I just can't wait to get started.

'I am laid back but you have to work hard and I have that work ethic so for me because of that I am really relaxed and just concentrate on my football and do what I have to do.

'That's got Leicester to where they were because they were a really tight group and I see the same thing here.'

Dodoo revealed he played with Martyn Waghorn as a youngster at Leicester City and he can't wait to link up with last season's top scorer.

The forward scored a hat-trick on his senior debut and went on to net against West Ham in last season's League Cup.

He smiled: 'I played with Martyn Waghorn at Leicester, I was only 17 then and he was older but I have known him for a while.

'It's great to come and him be here because he knows me and it makes it easier to fit in with the lads.

'Martyn and I scored a lot of goals together, we combined well and I know how he plays and that is still going to be there.'
