Greg Docherty is ready for the challenge he faces at Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers next season.
Greg Docherty at Rangers
Docherty joined Rangers on a season-long loan deal from Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2018.
The 22-year-old midfielder joined the Gers from Hamilton Academical in January 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Sunday Post to be worth £500,000.
Docherty has suggested that he wants to complete for a place in the Rangers starting lineup next season.
The Scottish youngster, though, is aware of the challenge and the competition he faces from Steven Davis, Scott Arfield and Ryan Jack.
Docherty told The Daily Record regarding Davis: “I don’t think he was really appreciated for how good he was at the time so it’s great the club have been able to get him back in. It’s a real coup and hopefully he can help us kick on now.
“But I’ve got to be thinking about coming back and looking to take his place. “I’m realistic and understand that guys like Scott Arfield are good players with a lot of experience too. Ryan Jack is probably having his best ever season – I’m under no illusions about that.
“But I’ll just bide my time. My end goal is still to come back to Rangers and do whatever I have to do to be a success. “Hopefully I can learn from these guys.”
Future at Rangers
Docherty is a very talented and promising young midfielder who is doing well for Shrewsbury at the moment.
The 22-year-old has scored five goals and provided five assists in 22 League One appearances for Shrewsbury so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.com.
Docherty does have a future at Rangers, and the youngster will return to Ibrox in the summer of 2019 a better player.
