Rangers midfielder Jamie Barjonas is bouncing back after an underwhelming first half of the campaign.

Steven Gerrard chose to send Barjonas out of Ibrox on loan to Bury back in the summer.

It did not work out, with Barjonas failing to establish himself at the English League Two side.

That’s why Rangers took the decision to recall Barjonas mid-season.

He was sent out on a second loan spell, this time to Raith Rovers.

This time Rangers have found a club where Barjonas is getting regular playing time, the whole purpose of a loan.

Barjonas has made seven league starts for Raith so far, scoring once and providing one assist.

This is already more in two months than he managed in four months at Bury.

Barjonas only managed four league appearances south of the border.

The 20-year-old has played nine times for Rangers during his short career so far.

His spell at Raith is preventing his 2018/19 from becoming a write off, likely had he been kept at Bury.

Breaking through at Rangers will be tough, such is the competition for places.

He can at least return at pre-season full of confidence.
