The Rangers manager Steven Gerrard allowed two fan favourites to leave Ibrox in January.
Some Rangers supporters are rejecting the notion that the Gers should have kept Greg Docherty and Jamie Murphy at Ibrox in January.
Docherty scored his first goal for Rangers’ Premiership rivals Hibernian on Sunday, around 24 hours after Murphy struck for the fourth time as a Burton Albion player.
Both men, each lifelong Rangers supporters, are due back at Ibrox in the summer, when their loan deals expire
But their form has had Bears fans, such as the following, wishing they had never left.
But that view is not shared by everyone of a Rangers persuasion…
People going on about Docherty and Murphy, implying we shouldn’t have let them go out on loan. The weight of a Rangers shirt carries far more than that of Hibs and ******* Burton Albion – which is a lot of the issue we are currently experiencing from the first team at the minute

Docherty (five) and Murphy (two) have appeared just seven times between them for Rangers this season and have yet to feature regularly under Steven Gerrard’s management, though the Liverpudlian has made a point of praising both players’ attitudes throughout their exile.
Docherty was loaned to Shrewsbury Town last term, while Murphy spent it sidelined with a serious knee injury.
Rangers fans – should Gerrard have hung on to the Scottish pair in the winter transfer window?
