Kranjcar helped Rangers to a 2-0 win against Motherwell at Ibrox.

Niko Kranjcar of Rangers takes a free kick during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and St Johnstone at Ibrox Stadium on December 16, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Niko Kranjcar made only his third Premiership start this season as Rangers beat Motherwell 2-0 at Ibrox on Wednesday. And the Gers fans cannot agree on whether the Croatian played well or not.

Kranjcar was sidelined for much of his maiden campaign in Glasgow, and has sat out a large chunk of this.

But the absence of Josh Windass (suspended) Graham Dorrans (injured) left Rangers boss Graeme Murty little option other than to play the 33-year-old.

Here’s what’s been said about Kranjcar’s performance…

Second half goals from Danny Wilson and Alfredo Morelos saw Rangers return to winning ways, against the side that knocked them out of the League Cup two months ago.

Kranjcar lasted 83 minutes at Ibrox before being replaced by Carlos Pena, and both players could feature against Celtic this weekend after Ryan Jack became Rangers’ latest injury victim.

Jack was stretchered off four minutes before the break, with Murty telling BBC Sport afterwards: “Looking at the manner of the injury and his departure from the pitch he’d be a doubt for Saturday.

“He’s in a bit of pain and discomfort. He’s in a brace at the moment and we’ll assess him [on Thursday].”
