Pedro Caixinha’s Glasgow Rangers recently signed Graham Dorrans from Norwich City in the summer transfer window.

Rangers have been quite busy in the summer transfer window so far and have made a number of signings already.

Among the players that the Scottish Premiership giants have recruited so far this summer are 35-year-old central defender Bruno Alves, 25-year-old defensive midfielder Ryan Jack, 21-year-old striker Alfredo Morelos, and 29-year-old winger Daniel Candeias.

Graham Dorrans has also made the switch to Rangers this summer. The 30-year-old midfielder has arrived at the Gers from Norwich City in the Championship in England for a transfer fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £1.5 million.

The Scotland international midfielder is a very good player and has arrived at Ibrox with a strong reputation. Dorrans played with success at Livingston in Scotland, and at West Bromwich Albion and Norwich in England.

Rangers legend Derek Johnstone has given his take on Dorrans’s move to Pedro Caixinha’s side. The 63-year-old former Scotland international has backed the former Norwich star to be a success for the Gers.

Former Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers defender Greg Strong, who is now 41 years of age, played alongside Dorrans at Livingston, and he has also backed the midfielder to be a success at Rangers.

Strong, though, has suggested that Dorrans cannot do everything on his own for Caixinha’s side and needs to be surrounded by good players.

“I think he could have a huge influence for us in midfield,” Johnstone wrote about Dorrans in The Glasgow Evening Times. “He can play a number of different roles in there and he has great experience as well.

“He knows what Rangers is all about, he will understand the expectations from the supporters and he realises what he has signed up for this season.”

“He has got bags of experienced and has developed into a top-class midfielder,” Strong told The Scottish Sun about Dorrans. “In the final third, he’s a danger.

“He can shift the ball quickly and pick out clever passes to create openings. Few players are able to play that killer pass that leads to goals, but Graham is certainly one of them.

“He will be a huge asset to Rangers, but you can’t expect him to do everything on his own. He still needs good players around him.”
