Rangers legend Willie Henderson speaks highly of Ibrox caretaker-manager Graeme Murty, who is doing well for the Gers at the moment.
Murty has been in charge of the Rangers first team on a temporary basis following the departure of Pedro Caixinha in October.
Results under the Scotsman has been quite impressive for Rangers, who have won their last three Scottish Premiership games.
The Ibrox club are in second place in the league table at the moment, and although they are unlikely to challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic for the title, they can certainly finish second.
Rangers legend Henderson, who played for the Ibrox club in the 1960s and 1970s, has been impressed with caretaker-manager Murty.
The 73-year-old former Scotland international winger has also suggested there could be a surprise in store for Rangers in terms of the future of Murty.
Henderson told The Scottish Sun: “I’ve been very impressed with Graeme Murty. He’s a young coach, and I’m quite sure it’s an experience he didn’t think would come so quickly in his career.
“He’s been under a lot of pressure. Anybody would be when put in the position he’s in now. Murty had two games against Aberdeen and Derek McInnes, and his tactics have been spot-on both times.
“I think he’s been brilliant under the circumstances. It might surprise us where it all ends. Rangers have said they will give him until the end of the year.
“We’ll see if he can follow up what he’s doing just now. Then we’ll see if Rangers have plans which they want to put into place.”
Rangers will return to action on Wednesday evening when they take on Hibernian away from home at Easter Road in the Scottish Premiership.
The Gers won 2-1 against Ross County at Ibrox in the league last weekend, and left-back Declan John has revealed what Murty told the players ahead of the game.
“[The message] was to go out and play with the ball more,” John told Rangers’ official website. “I think in the first half, we were perhaps trying too hard in the final third at certain times and some passes were getting cut out.”
Meanwhile, Rangers caretaker-manager Murty has revealed how the Academy staff reacted when then manager Pedro Caixinha praised defender Ross McCrorie.
“It opened the eyes of the Academy staff because the last thing we want to do is put pressure on the young man,” Murty told The Scottish Sun.
“But he has accepted it and accepted how highly we rate him, and I think he knows what the fans think about him as well. He embraces the challenge.”
