We need to go there and show that we&#8217;re worthy of a mid-table finish.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to go there and pick up a result.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Swansea, with 39 points on the board, look to have secured their Premier League status, while Rangers are entrenched in a scrap to avoid dropping back into the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re ahead of them, but they&#8217;ll be fighting,&#8221; said Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They know their home form is going to be crucial until the end of the season, so we just have to go there and do as well as we can.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We played well and were unlucky on Friday. Two bits of quality won the game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had the best year of my life,&#8221; added the Wales defender. &#8220;I&#8217;ve played more than 30 games in the Premier League and that wouldn&#8217;t have happened if I&#8217;d gone somewhere like Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love the way we play football as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are no complaints from me, it&#8217;s been a great season so far and we want to sprint over the line, not stumble.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are a lot of players in this league who would love to be at a football club like this because of the way we play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And on speculation that the Swans could lose their manager in the summer?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not even been spoken about among the lads and it&#8217;s not unsettling at all,&#8221; added Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the football industry you know how things work, you know things are talked about, whether it&#8217;s players or managers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope he stays.
