“Are you sure it’s a loan?” – Rangers players slaughter new arrival

In a slightly more lighthearted piece of news coming out of Ibrox, it seems new signing Jamie Murphy has been the subject of a grilling from his new team mates following his start to life in Govan by way of the Florida training camp the club are currently engaged in.

The 28-year old Brighton winger came on loan to Ibrox till the end of the season, with obligation to buy, and his new friends have been quick to slaughter anything he has done wrong.

Graeme Murty explained:

“Jamie has had the usual stick, as soon as you have a bad touch the boys are out screaming at him ‘How much?’ and ‘Are you sure it’s a loan, have you got to try before you buy?’ – all the classics.”

If anything it appears the spirit in the camp is better than it has ever been – after two absolutely toxic spells under Mark Warburton and Pedro Caixinha, morale seems to be on the up under Murty, albeit we will see how the new permanent coach deals with things when results struggle, as they inevitably will.

But nevertheless, Murphy getting the stick and the banter suggests he is settling in well, and could well integrate swiftly into the first team.

Just…as few of those ‘bad touches’ as possible please mate!
