English Championship side ready to hijack move for Rangers star

Charlton Athletic could be set to pinch Greg Docherty from under the noses of Sunderland, according to the Scottish Sun.

However, the deal has stalled as the two clubs struggle to agree on the terms of the loan.

This has opened the door for Charlton Athletic who can offer Docherty the opportunity to play in England's second tier.

The former Hamilton Accies midfielder has found first-team opportunities difficult to find since Steven Gerrard became Rangers manager and spent last season on loan at Shrewsbury.
