Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a fine talent in Niko Kranjcar.

Jason Holt has told Rangers TV that he is “constantly learning” from his new team-mate Niko Kranjcar.

With some 80 caps for Croatia and Champions League experience with Spurs, Kranjar was arguably the biggest of Rangers’ 12 summer signings.

That being said, it has not always been easy for him so far with the Gers and has perhaps gone missing on a few occasions, which fans will attribute to the adjustment period to life in Glasgow.

But he did dazzle in the 2-0 win over Partick Thistle prior to the international break and capped off a fine performance with a fine solo effort for what his first Premiership goal at the eighth time of asking.

Technically, the 32-year-old is a wonderful player and Holt, 23, admits that he has been studiously observing the Croat in training sessions.

“He’s been great since he’s came in,” he told Rangers TV. “I’m constantly learning things from him in training. Just seeing him in training, and the stuff he does, I’m trying to pick up on.”

Consistency is a big thing for Kranjcar, which means that it’s important for Rangers that he performs to a high standard on a regular basis.

Mark Warburton’s side travel to Inverness today ahead of Friday night’s clash, and the Gers boss will be looking for another strong performance from the ex-QPR man.
