Daly, who never featured under
McCall due to injury, was high-profile a signing in 2013 in the eyes of
Scottish football as a Republic
of Ireland Catholic
electing to leave Dundee United for Ibrox, and must be credited for tolerating
the criticism he received, none of which was from anyone connected with
Rangers.

His career at Rangers was summed

No one could accuse Daly of not

Rangers supporters, frustrated by his limitations.

in 53 appearances, around one in two.
