Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck says his time with Rangers has prepared him for the intensity of the Premier League.

Fleck has admitted he feels he's in the best form of his career.

"When I was younger, at Ibrox, there was pressure the whole time," he says, reflecting upon his time with Rangers.

"Regardless of whether it was the youth team or the first team, it was all about winning. That was the only thing you were expected to do. Losing wasn't good enough. It just wasn't accepted and that gives you a certain mentality. You have to get used to it otherwise you'll go under. It's really demanding."

He continued, "I've worked hard to get here and so have a lot of us.

"I can only speak for myself but it's a great position to be in and we want to stay here for as long as we can. It's about sticking together as a group and seeing if we can stay there this season especially."
