Mark Warburton’s Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers drew with Ross County.

Rangers' Jason Holt scores their first goal

Speaking to Rangers’ official YouTube channel, manager Mark Warburton has given credit to Jason Holt on his comeback performance in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Ross County at Ibrox.

An ankle injury had limited the 23-year-old to just two appearances for Rangers this season, one in the Premiership and one in the League Cup.

But the talented midfielder managed the guts of 74 minutes on his comeback in yesterday’s stalemate with Ross County in Glasgow, replaced by Niko Kranjcar.

Holt was a big player for Warburton last season as the Gers won promotion from the Scottish Championship, starting 31 league outings.

And the former Brentford boss told Rangers’ official YouTube page that he is “delighted to have him fighting fit once more.

“He did great. To be out for five weeks as he was and deliver that 70-minute performance is a credit to him, and to the staff and the medical guys who worked with him. He gets beyond – you saw his movement and energy today – and he’s a player who we’ve missed. I’m delighted he’s back”

Holt’s return comes when fellow midfielder Joey Barton’s future at Ibrox is up in the air after being banished from training recently following a spat with Andy Halliday.
