Rangers midfielder Graham Dorrans has finally recovered from injury and featured at Ibrox on Saturday.
Graham Dorrans has told Rangers’ official website that he is enjoying life under Graeme Murty after returning to action following a long period on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
The 30-year-old had missed Murty’s entire tenure as manager since the 43-year-old replaced Pedro Caixinha back in October, with Dorrans suffering the injury in the 22nd minute of Caixinha’s last game in charge against Kilmarnock.
The former Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion midfielder finally returned to action during the 2-2 draw against Motherwell before getting another 90 minutes under his belt in the 4-0 win over Dundee.
The 11-time Scotland international spoke of how he has attended every Rangers match since his injury, home and away, in order to get to grips with Murty’s style. He also spoke of how he enjoys the training sessions held by Murty.
“It has been good under the gaffer; I hadn’t played under him because my last game before the injury was Kilmarnock, which also happened to be the previous manager’s final game,” Dorrans said.
“Being involved with the boys again has been great, getting back out on the training pitch and seeing how the gaffer works, how his training is and what his philosophies are.
“It has been good for me but I have tried to keep myself involved in the meetings and watch training so I know what he wants from the boys. I have also been to all the games, home and away, to watch them and see how he works.”
Dorrans worked with Murty at Norwich City, the latter taking control of the youth development at Carrow Road and the Under-16 side before moving to Rangers in 2016.
Rangers’ number 10 is expected to start his third game in a row against Old Firm rivals Celtic on Sunday afternoon in the Scottish Cup semi-final, as the Gers look to stop the Hoops from completing a second successive treble.
