Murts in challenge to Andy & Mikey
they must hit the ground running second time around.
He said: “I’m delighted to have Andy back. He’s an aggressive midfield player and I think we have been light in that department.
“He’s been here and he knows the club. And, at the end of the day, he’s just desperate to play for Rangers.
“It’s an easy sell to him. You just say ‘look Andy, you’ve got a second chance here and not many people get that at Rangers’.
“Michael O’Halloran is the same. They’re getting another chance to impress and another chance to play for this great club. It’s up to them grab it.
“Everyone knows Andy’s love for the club and everyone knows what Rangers mean to him.
“I know he can perform so it’s now up to him to go and do it.
“Prove to me he can add to the collective, prove to me that he can make us better.
“I want people to be positive in and around the group and I know that’s Andy will bring.”
While Halliday was left frustrated with a lack of match action during his loan spell, O’Halloran played 17 times during his stint at McDiarmid Park.
The winger hit five goals for Tommy Wright’s side and now Murty hopes he can finally make an impact on a regular basis for Rangers.
He said: “It’s difficult to play for this football club but everyone will come in with a chance.
“We know what Michael can do, we’ve seen it in spells at Rangers and, of course, with St Johnstone.
“We need people who are in the building to make us better and we feel Michael has what it takes to do that.”
