Ex-Rangers midfielder finds new club after year out of football

Former Rangers midfielder Graham Dorrans has returned to football.

The 35-year-old has spent the last year out of action since ending his injury-hit spell with Dunfermline.

The ex-Scotland international made 150 appearances in the Premier League for West Brom and Norwich during his career. 

And as his playing days come to an end, Dorrans will now ply his trade in the seventh tier of Scottish football. 

He has joined Johnstone Burgh on a deal until the end of next season.

Capped 12 times for Scotland, the midfielder has also had spells at Dundee and Western Sydney Wanderers after leaving Rangers in 2019.

Johnstone currently sit sixth in the table of the West of Scotland First Division.

Meanwhile, Kieran Dowell looks set to be headed for Rangers this summer.

But while he will soon exit Norwich in the coming months, their manager appears to have taken a thinly-veiled dig at some of the players leaving Carrow Road.

David Wagner admits Norwich's outgoing stars may not have the right balance of "potential and quality."

And this could well be a swipe aimed at Dowell, who is expected to pen a deal with Michael Beale's side at the end of the season.

It's a blow for Wagner, who brought Dowell back into his first-team plans when he arrived at the club earlier this season.But Dowell's second coming at the Championship club was cut short after picking up a knee injury in February.
