Former Rangers striker Martyn Waghorn has selected midfielder Niko Kranjcar as one of the best two players he has ever featured alongside.

Waghorn was sold by Rangers in the summer after two seasons at Ibrox.

He has gone onto star for Ipswich Town in the Championship.

Speaking to The Mail, Waghorn said Kranjcar is one of the two players he has enjoyed playing with the most.

Niko Kranjcar of Rangers in action during a pre-season friendly between Rangers FC and Burnley FC at Ibrox Stadium on July 30, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

He said: “I have to name two because they are both quality.

“Steed Malbranque was at Sunderland when I was starting out and last season I was fortunate enough to play with Niko Kranjcar at Rangers.”

It says a lot about Kranjcar’s quality that he was able to make such an impression on Waghorn even at the tail end of his career.

The Croatian is now 33 and has had an injury hit spell at Rangers.

He has been able to make only seven league appearances this season, in which he has provided one assist.

Waghorn has scored 10 times in 29 appearances for Ipswich since leaving Rangers in the summer.
