GERS CAN CASH IN ON O’HALLORAN — PEDRO

PEDRO Caixinha believes Rangers can still cash in on Michael O’Halloran despite reiterating his stance the forward has no future at Ibrox.

O’Halloran i s back at St Johnstone on loan after being told he is no longer part of Caxinha’s plans.

But his return to Perth has sparked a stunning upturn in fortunes for the 26-year-old, with four goals in his first five games for Tommy Wright’s men.

O’Halloran sparked headlines earlier this week when he lashed out at the effectiveness of Caixinha’s training methods.

The Rangers boss refused to bite back when quizzed on the row.

Instead, he urged O’Halloran to continue his hot steak and ensure the Light Blues are able to maximise his value once his McDiarmid stint ends in January.

“I need to be pleased for him and also for Tommy because they won the Player and the Manager of the Month awards,” said Caixinha.

“He’s still our player but his comments are up to him. I’m not going to discuss in public things that I know and that I believe and that I have studied a lifetime for.

“It’s his decision to speak out and I respect it but I just hope he continues doing very good because ultimately he is our player and if they (St Johnstone) want to buy him — or someone else wants to buy him — if he is scoring goals, it will be perfect for us.”
