“Rangers are more than equipped to perform well in the Premiership", he was quoted as saying by the Herald Scotland.
"There are some top players here in the dressing room, including some who have played in the top flight before and know what it’s about.
“We are more than capable of competing at that level next season. Competing for the title has to be the aim for a club like Rangers.
“We aim to win every game in every competition we’re in. Hopefully I can get a crack at a few Old Firm games next season.
“It could be at least four games and I’ll look forward to that, but first and foremost we have to get there first."
O'Halloran, who joined Rangers from Scottish Premiership outfit St Johnstone on a four-and-a-half-year deal in January, has thus far made seven league appearances for his new employers, scoring once and providing an assist.
