It’s been a successful loan stint at Gigg Lane for the 22-year-old, who departed Ibrox in January in search of regular football his injury troubles.

He had played just 11 games across two seasons, but Rossiter was an ever-present for Lowe, making 17 appearances for the Shakers.

He said, as quoted by The Herald: “He was in the team every week, he trained every day and didn’t miss anything. He was phenomenal and for a guy who has had injuries and niggles, for me to get him on the pitch week in week out was great.

“I think a lot of credit has to go to Jordan for his determination and he must have picked up about ten Man of the Match awards in the 17 games that he played for us. He was instrumental, he was terrific and what a lad, a real hard working character. ”

Lowe also revealed that he would text Steven Gerrard every time Rossiter was named man-of-the-match, so the Light Blues boss will be in the loop about Rossiter’s progress.

TBR’s view

Rossiter will be hoping his great stint at Bury can now be the spingboard for him to become a Rangers regular.

He will start the 2019/20 season down in the pecking order, with Ryan Jack, Glenn Kamara and Scott Arfield a trusted trident in midfield.

Judging by Lowe’s rave review though, Rossiter stands an excellent chance of breaking into the side and becoming a real fans’ favourite.
