Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty is set to join Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan, STV understands.

With opportunities expected to be limited at Ibrox this campaign following Steven Gerrard's Light Blues squad overhaul, the 21-year-old is poised to move out on loan to the League One outfit on Wednesday.

Docherty played 11 times for the Light Blues last season after signing from Hamilton in January.

But he is yet to start a competitive fixture under new Light Blues boss Gerrard and will now join the Shrews to continue his development this campaign.

Gerrard has reassured Docherty he remains in his plans going forward but that he wants the Accies academy graduate to gain greater exposure to first-team football this season.
