Pedro Caixinha’s Glasgow Rangers brought Graham Dorrans to Ibrox from Norwich City in the summer transfer window.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is seen prior to the Betfred League Cup Quarter Final at Firhill Stadium on September 19, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha has told The Scotsman that Graham Dorrans is a great player.

Caixinha, who was appointed the Rangers manager in March following the departure of Mark Warburton – now in charge of Nottingham Forest in the Championship in England – has praised the 30-year-old for being a leader.

The Scotland international midfielder joined Rangers from Norwich City in the Championship in England in the summer transfer window.

According to Sky Sports, the Gers had to pay the Canaries a transfer fee of £1.3 million in order to secure the services of the former West Bromwich Albion midfielder.

Rangers manager Caixinha has spoken highly of Dorrans, and believes that he is a great player.

“Dorrans is a great player,” Caixinha told The Scotsman. “He is what I call a silent leader. He doesn’t need to shout, just leads all the time by playing football.

“It’s a different type of leadership that I like. We’ve trusted him since the very beginning and I know what he’s capable of. He can get even better.”

Graham Dorrans of Rangers vies with Niall Keown of Partick Thistle during the Betfred League Cup Quarter Final at Firhill Stadium on September 19, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Dorrans is one of the best midfielders in the Scottish Premiership and is a key player for Rangers.

The former Norwich and West Brom star will be important for the Gers this season, as the Ibrox outfit aim to finish second in the Scottish Premiership table.
