The Glasgow Rangers player has slipped down the pecking order under Pedro Caixinha.

Andy Halliday celebrates after scoring the first goal for Rangers

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha has a lot of decisions to make this summer, with some of the players he inherited at Ibrox likely to be moved on to make way for the Portuguese’s own signings.

One such player is Andy Halliday, who may have featured 41 times for the Gers this season but who has fallen down the pecking order since Caixinha took charge.

The 25-year-old has managed just one 90-minute appearance in Rangers’ last six matches and he does not appear to be rated as highly as some of his fellow midfielders.

With wholesale changes expected this summer, could Halliday have just a few weeks to save his Rangers career?

That is not beyond the realms of possibility, with the player removed at half-time in the Scottish Cup defeat to Celtic and managing only 16 minutes in the recent games against Partick Thistle and Aberdeen.

He could still turn things around, but one wonders if he needs to put in some impressive performances in the final three games of the campaign to ensure he does not make Caixinha’s decision an easy one.
