Jamie Murphy had such a blistering second half of the Rangers’ 2017-18 campaign after coming over from Brighton that the £1m they paid for him looked to be an unbelievable bargain.

However, a devastating torn ACL injury at the beginning of last season has put 30-year-old’s career progress on hold.

Only having been able to play 53 minutes so far this season, Murphy is headed elsewhere to attempt to get his career back on track.

On Monday, Rangers announced the winger will be headed to League One’s Burton Albion for the rest of the season.

The two-time international will link back up with manager Nigel Clough, who he played for at Sheffield United.

“I have worked with Nigel Clough before and had some of my greatest moments as a footballer under him, so it was an easy one to pick coming here.

“I want to be back enjoying football again. It has been a nightmare time with my knee but I’m now just looking forward to playing again and hopefully helping the boys win on Saturday.”

Murphy’s addition could prove to be decisive as they are currently in eighth place in the English third tier, two points behind the play-off places and eight points behind the automatic promotion places with a game in hand.
