Greg Docherty added to his burgeoning reputation by scoring in the FA Cup against Premier League opposition.

Docherty, who is on loan at Shrewsbury Town from Rangers, scored the opener in the 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Shrewsbury took a two-goal lead in this game but Wolves staged a late comeback as Matt Doherty’s injury time goal ensured the fixture went to a replay.

But it was yet another impressive performance for Docherty, who netted his eighth goal of the season.

The 22-year-old was loaned out by Rangers last summer after being told he had no immediate future with the club.

But his performances in England will certainly have turned Steven Gerrard’s head.

The Scotland under-21 star’s goal demonstrated his all-round midfield ability. The move started when Docherty made a strong tackle in his own half.

Shrewsbury launched a counter-attack and Docherty’s surging run down the right wing was rewarded when the ball was laid into his path.

From a narrow angle, the Rangers starlet powered a ferocious strike into the roof of the net to give Shrewsbury the lead.

Here are some things Rangers fans are saying about Docherty’s latest midfield masterclass.
