The Rangers midfielder was happy with Sunday’s win over Derby County.

Greg Docherty of Rangers is seen during the Pre-Season Friendly match between Rangers and Wigan Athletic at Ibrox Stadium on July 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty was left delighted by his team’s display against English Championship side Derby County on Sunday, taking to Twitter to declare the performance as ‘great’.

Steven Gerrard’s outfit picked up a 1-0 win against the Rams, dominating possession and chances in the match.

It was a solid way to end their pre-season with the Scottish Premiership kicking off next weekend.

Docherty got a full 90 minutes in the match, capping off a summer that has seen excellent progress made by the former Hamilton Accies man.

He started pre-season with his future at the club uncertain after a season-long loan at Shrewsbury Town last term. However, he is now firmly part of Gerrard’s squad heading into the new campaign.

The ten goals and 11 assists he contributed towards the Shrews’ season demonstrated he can be a midfielder that can produce the goods in Glasgow.

Director of Football Mark Allen has spoken about the change in the player since his loan and his future at Ibrox is now looking good.

Competition is fierce in the middle of the park, but the 22-year-old’s attitude and boyhood support for the club continues to win over supporters, potentially aiding his case for getting more starts and appearances.
