No
I've no idea why we let him go out on loan. He's a very good footballer who can score and pick a pass, exactly what we were screaming out for from from January.

Sell for 300k-500k. Shame as he’d have a been a good player for us if it wasn’t for his injury but he’ll be on a big wage and he’s not of the required quality anymore
Sadly I think his time is up, shame as the lad was in form prior to his injury at Rugby Park.

He absolutely should.
Whether or not he gets a chance is another matter.
Has a very impressive goals/assists ratio in his Rangers career, which is something we are really lacking in the front 3 (outside Morelos obviously).
Showed at Burton he is still quality.

People were saying the same about Greg Doc when he was scoring at Hibs that we could do with him , but the reality is him and Murphy aren’t good enough going forward to get us where we need to be.

The game will likely pass him by.
File under Dorrans.

Murphy has actually performed well in a Rangers shirt whereas Docherty has done nothing, I don't think that is a comparison that can reasonably be made.
I don’t think he has a future but I personally think he should.
Nobody can tell me that he wouldn’t have contributed more than Barker, Jones or Ojo in that team once he was fit.
A very good player to have in the squad imo.

Yes
Yeah the comparison was performing well on loan and people thinking it’s what we are missing, there’s a reason they are allowed to go on loan. If he could stay fit then could maybe add something to the squad but he’s only managed 20 games ( scoring 4 goals ) for us since 2018. I can’t see him having a future at Ibrox.

Depends on how good he comes back, we need a goalscorer that isn't a striker and he has a good track record. He might not have the same flair and talent as Kent shows on the big stage, but I do feel like he's the type who can get the goals in tight games against weaker opposition. This is, of course, depending on whether he can still play at this level after his injuries.
He should have this pre season to stake a claim. If he can get back to how he was before the injury then it's a yes from me. Maybe not a regular starter but definitely a useful squad addition to come off the bench and play anywhere across the front 3. I hope he can do it.
While it's good to see him get among the goals for Burton, that's not really a comparable measure of the standard we need. If he got his fitness and confidence back then it was a worthwhile loan.
If he doesn't shape up to what we need this pre season, then he should be sold and I'd like to think we'd get £500k or so for him, probably from a bottom half Championship team or ambitious League One team.

Not as a regular starter but to me good experienced squad option.
Plus he is much, much, much better than Barker

We were robbed of Murphy because of that abomination of a pitch.

Bring him back immediately. We need a better squad of players and he should be part of it.

The pandemic may actually have been a great leveler for him and allowed him to catch up the rest of the squad re:conditioning.
We asked him to go to Burton and oerdorm. By all rights he did.
I'm not saying he's starting XI... But I want to see him in rotation. He has demonstrated with his stats that he posseses the nous in the final 3rd required., both pre injury with us and seemingly post injury with Burton.

At best he should be a back up, he’s someone who can help cover anyone across the front 3 which is a positive. But if we are to win anything he should be at best a back up and not someone we should rely on
There's a few players in the first team they may not be the right quality either mate.especially in the second half of this season .

Would have been a better option than Ojo, Stewart, Jones, Barker, and probably Kent.

Certainly more encouraging to the fans facing a game when Kent is injured or rested to see Murheys name as opposed to Barker or Jones on the team sheet.

Definitely keep him in the squad. Would play ahead of Jones or Barker any day of the week, and would be a good option when Kent is off form.
Would like to see him given a chance but not sure where given we have Kent, Hagi, Aribo and others who are all comfortably ahead of him
Then Jones, Barker, Stewart
If we get rid of Barker and Jones then maybe as backup

I think he will want to move on to get games at his age and after his long lay off.

Yes, we could have definitely done with Murphy, McCrorie and docherty at points last season

We had support attacking options of Barker, Jones, Ojo and Stewart last year. Is it a surprise we struggle when Morelos or Kent are not firing? Murphy is better than all those but this is the area we need to improve. So it’s a maybe for me.

The idea that we’re going to get rid of all of our players in the current transfer climate is insanity.
We need a big squad if we want to be involved in four competitions - if we’re serious about the league, we need to think about that IMO - so if the likes of Docherty, Murphy, Kamberi, Jones etc can’t do a job at against the SPFL fodder then it’s a failure of coaching and scouting.

Kent?! Too far...
The injury at Kilmarnock set him back without a doubt, but when he got back fit he went out on loan and done well.
He's a far better option than Barker, Jones, Hastie and Middleton so he's worth keeping imo.

Yes he does he seems to have recovered well from his injury showed at burton he can still score goals , he gives us something different to what Kent does and he should be a good squad player.
