Glasgow Rangers midfielder is back on track.

Glasgow Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty went into last night’s game on loan for Shrewsbury on the back of a five week goal drought.

It took the Rangers loanee just two minutes to get on the scoresheet.

Docherty had begun the season well on loan, scoring three times in his opening couple of months. Since then he has struggled a little in front of goal.

The Rangers midfielder’s goal last night helped Shrewbury to a 3-1 victory over League One competitors Barnsley, a surprise win with 18th beating fifth.

Docherty was loaned out by Rangers boss Steven Gerrard to gain experience, and told he still very much has a shot of making it at Ibrox in the future.

He is showing an ability to positively influence games and at just 22, has plenty to offer.

There is a strong chance by time the season goes on that he will reach double figures, with four goals to his name already.

If he can do that then he will return to Ibrox full of confidence and better prepared to challenge for a first team place next season.
