It’sDoc’s ordersto remain patient

GRAEME MURTY has urged new boy Greg Docherty to give himself time to grow into being a Rangers player.

The 21-year-old wants to make a huge impact after his move from Hamilton and Murty reckons he will – when he stops trying so hard.

Docherty recovered from a shaky start on his return to Accies at the weekend to play his part in a 5-3 win.

Boss Murty said: “He was trying to be everything and everyone and everywhere across the pitch.

“I tried to restrain his role in the second half so he could see the game in front of him a lot more.

“He was more structured and you then saw the best of him at times. He went from that position, won the ball and passed it cleanly – and he was much better.

“But his challenge now is to be cleaner and tidier on the ball. He needs to complete more passes and shift the ball faster.

“At the moment he is trying to be almost too precise and too much to be a Rangers player – he’s going to grow into that.

“All he needs to do now is trust himself. If he sees a pass, go and complete it. It’s almost like he’s taking a second touch to make sure he completes the pass.

“He doesn’t need to. He just needs to trust his ability. Our training, the tempo we play at and the players we have will improve him.

“That was his first league game. It was a nice game for him but we’re just seeing him at the start of his Rangers career. Greg will get better from here.”

Jamie Murphy has scored in back-to-back games but admits Gers couldn’t relish firing five given the three shipped.

He told RangersTV: “It is a bit weird to feel like this after scoring five. If we are going to win games we have to score goals. We are disappointed as a team we conceded a few so we will definitely work on that.”
