They spent two years together at Boro, with Halliday spending five years on Teeside prior to his Rangers return in 2015, having spent a portion of his youth career there.

Franks has recalled their time at the Riverside and revealed via The Record that the 24-year-old would never shut up talking about the Gers.

“The lad I know in the Rangers squad is Andy Halliday who was at Middlesbrough with me,” he said. “He’s a diehard Rangers fan – he always has been.

“He was there for three years or so at the same time as me and was always going on about Rangers. So I’m pleased for him getting the move as he was there as a kid.”

Competition for places is fierce at Rangers and the midfielder may not start for the visit of County.

Halliday has featured in all five of their Premiership games, but only three from the very start.
