Rangers have a goalscoring midfielder ready to take Ibrox by storm.
Rangers fans had been joking online about nipping in to sign Motherwell’s David Turnbull during his on-off switch to Celtic.
The move finally broke down yesterday, with BBC Sport reporting he needed knee surgery.
Rangers might not have been able to afford Turnbull anyway, but also, there is no real need for him in their team.
The Gers are loaded in central midfield, and in the form of returning loanee Greg Docherty, they have a goalscoring midfielder capable of wowing Ibrox this season.
Docherty signed for Rangers in January 2018 from Hamilton and was unlucky not to make Steven Gerrard’s first team squad last season.
Gerrard felt Docherty would benefit from a full season out on loan, and it may have been the right call.
Docherty thrived at Shrewsbury, netting 10 goals from midfield.
He returns to Ibrox full of confidence, ready to build on his season away and prove a point.
Rangers wouldn’t have needed to spend on a Turnbull, when Docherty can provide the goals from midfield they want.
Combined with new signing Joe Aribo, the pair can make Rangers a lot more dangerous next season.
