Greg Docherty will have to make some room on his mantelpiece.

Considering that on-loan midfielder has produced 10 goals and 11 assists for a struggling Shrewsbury Town this season, it is really no surprise that he cleaned up at the club’s end of season awards ceremony on Tuesday night.

Rangers-owned Docherty took home a trio of gongs, the official Player of the Year award, the Family Stand Player of the Year and the Official Supporters’ Club’s Player of the Year.

And he deserves all three after an outstanding campaign in which he dragged Shrewsbury away from the relegation zone and made stunning finishes his trademark.

But Docherty’s future beyond this summer remains uncertain. Speaking to the BBC, the 22-year-old admitted that he wants to return to Ibrox this summer and force his way into Steven Gerrard’s first-team plans.

That could be easier said than done given the depth available to Rangers in the centre of the park.

The Gers will also have the option to cash in on a player they signed from Hamilton for £650,000 in January 2018. The Scottish Sun reports that Docherty is a target for Scottish Premiership rivals Hibernian.
