Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday has admitted to The Scottish Sun that he was unsure about his future at Ibrox at the start of the season.

Halliday joined Rangers in the summer of 2015 after leaving Bradford City at the end of the 2014-15 season.

The 26-year-old midfielder spent the first half of the 2017-18 campaign on loan at Gabala FK in the Azerbaijan Premier League and struggled to make an impact at Rangers in the second half of the season.

The Scottish midfielder has admitted that he was unsure of his future at Rangers at the start of the season.

Halliday told The Scottish Sun: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think it was going to happen for me here this season.

“Coming into pre-season I knew it was going to be tough for me to be here, especially with the amount of players coming in. There was also stuff which happened towards the end of last season.”
