GREG Docherty has become Rangers’ fifth signing of the January transfer window after sealing a move from Hamilton Academical.

The midfielder put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal at Ibrox on Thursday after the two Ladbrokes Premiership clubs agreed a £680,000 transfer fee.

Docherty, who has scored three goals in 21 league games for Accies this season, could make his debut for Graeme Murty’s side during Sunday’s trip to Ross County.

The 21-year-old follows Sean Goss, Jamie Murphy, Russell Martin and Jason Cummings in arriving at the club this month as Murty continues to re-shape his squad for the second half of the campaign.  

A 2-0 win over Aberdeen last night saw the Gers leapfrog the Dons into second place on goal difference and Murty suggested after the game that Docherty may not be the last signing to arrive before the end of the window.

“It’s another bit off business for another young hungry player desperate to enhance our group,” he said.

“When you saw the players gelling and the improvements we’ve made, it’s an exciting time for players – and for me as a manager.

“I want to manage people who are hungry to improve.

“I don’t know if it will be the end of our business.”
