Rangers loanee Greg Docherty is getting stuck in out on loan.

Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty is ready for battle this weekend for loan side Shrewsbury against Blackpool.

Steven Gerrard sent Docherty out to gain experience, having begun the season as a substitute at Ibrox.

Docherty made his debut at the weekend, playing all 90 minutes against Charlton.

This weekend he could take on two players who were at Rangers last season.

Midfielder Jordan Thompson was a Ger, albeit on loan out on Livingston, before his contract expired in June.

He has made one appearance off the bench so far for Blackpool.

Current Rangers loanee Joe Dodoo is also with the Tangerines, and has made two starts for the club so far this season.

Docherty is ready for the match between the teams, telling the club website: “I played against Blackpool in pre season. They’re a physical side.

“I know a couple of players from there who were at Rangers last year, so I know there is some good players in the team.”

Rangers will surely be monitoring the game closely, with both Dodoo and Docherty likely to play.

It would be the ideal moment for one of them to step up and prove their worth.
