Tochi Chukwuani wants to create “magical moments” for Rangers fans as the Light Blues refocus on a 56th William Hill Premiership title win.

The Light Blues can go top for the first time in over two years when they face Dundee United at Ibrox on Saturday in their first fixture following the international break.

With seven league games remaining, Danny Rohl’s side are three points behind leaders Hearts with a goal difference of two.

The Jambos have to wait until Sunday to travel to Livingston, with third-placed Celtic, two points behind Rangers, taking on Dundee at Dens Park on the same day.

Chukwuani, 23, has impressed Gers supporters with a series of assured performances in midfield since signing from Sturm Graz in January as Rangers have clawed their way back into the title race, and he is looking for a thrilling finale.

He said: “It’s been fantastic experiencing the fans, experiencing the stadium. I think it’s just like a dream to play here. You just want to create more magical moments, especially with the fan group that’s here.

“This is something you look back at, and you just think, wow, what a magical place. Yes, I know it (winning the league) would mean the world to people, especially when you walk around the city, and everyone is talking about the 56.

“You can just hear people screaming at you, walking down the road, you can feel the passion. And when you step on the pitch, you just want to give everything in your power back to the fans with great displays and a lot of wins.”
