“We are taking our time with [the players] because we want to make sure that we don’t push them too hard and we give them longer-term problems.”
Aside from McCrorie and Jack, Murty says his squad is ‘looking quite good’.
The Rangers boss added: “We recently got the guys at the training centre working hard to get themselves back as fit as they can – Lee [Wallace] and Kenny [Miller] and Graham Dorrans are making sure that they progress on their personal rehab to get themselves back in the squad.
