On Twitter on Tuesday, Josh Windass reminisced about his time at Rangers.
He quoted a video which surfaced via AwayDaysBible and Rangers Culture, from a Gers trip to Edinburgh back in 2017.
The league fixture against Hearts took on special significance as it was held at Murrayfield, the home of Scottish Rugby, rather than Tynecastle.

Kyle Lafferty opened the scoring for Hearts, with a superb free-kick.
However, that only served to wake Rangers up and goals from Kenny Miller either side of half-time put them in the ascendancy.
In the 72nd minute, Windass stepped up to make the points safe.

He broke down the right flank, cut inside onto his left foot and fired in at the near post.
The goal sent the huge Rangers traveling support wild.
“What a day this was at Murraryfield”, wrote Windass on Twitter.

It was one of 13 league goals the Englishman would score in the famous shirt.
However, he split opinions during his time in Glasgow.
There can be no doubt that with 18 goals in all competitions last season, he was a key performer.

Yet, many questioned the now Wigan star’s attitude and willingness to stand up when the going got tough.
Therefore, the reaction to his comment was mixed.
