“I use him as an example a lot of the time for our younger players in terms of his dedication, how he goes about his job and he is probably the most talented player I have worked with.

“His quality on the ball, how quick he is over the first five yards, the tempo he sets – he is a top class footballer.”

Rangers will raise the curtains on their 2020/21 Scottish Premiership campaign on 1st August against Aberdeen at the Pittodrie.
