Murty favourite has chance of reprieve: Three things learned from Rangers win v Hearts
Niko Kranjcar might get a reprieve from Murty
The Croatian midfielder has been something of a let down since joining from New York Cosmos 15 months ago but must get a chance to impress again under Murty – who is a clear fan of the veteran.
Kranjcar found himself among the substitutes for the trip to Murrayfield and it’s possible that the experienced midfielder could get some game-time as Murty attempts to steady the ship at Ibrox.
Injuries and poor form have meant Kranjcar has been limited in his game time, however Murty recently spoke about the 33-year-old in glowing terms after an Under-20’s match.
“The midfield players were raving about Niko’s perception of the game, how quickly he sees things, the angles he takes up and some of the things he can attempt because he is in the right place and he has seen two or three passes ahead,” Murty said, as quoted by Rangers’ official website.
“For them to see that up close is really good.”
