Early days, but Rangers look to have pulled off a serious signing in Jamie Murphy.

The Scottish winger joined Rangers on a half-season loan from Brighton & Hove Albion but everybody affiliated with the Ibrox club will be desperate to see the move become permanent in the summer.

The 28-year-old has three goals and five assists in his last four games for Graeme Murty’s side but sat out the 4-1 win over Falkirk with a foot injury.

Fans of the Ibrox club are sweating over his fitness ahead of Celtic’s visit on Sunday, but Murty revealed on Monday that he is likely to be fit for the Old Firm clash.

And Gers supporters are absolutely loving that development.

Rangers have scored 23 goals in their last six games – all wins – and Murty’s side look to have a genuine shot at beating the Hoops this weekend.

Things are, for the moment, really good on the blue half of the Old Firm divide, and their chances of beating Brendan Rodgers and co are far greater with Murphy than without him.
