Andy Halliday hasn't played a lot of football under the leadership of Rangers boss Steven Gerrard.
The 28-year-old has struggled to shoulder his way into the Light Blues starting line-up with no no available spot in midfield and Borna Barisic appearing to be the prefered left-back at Ibrox.
But despite his lack of game time, Gers hero Alan Hutton insists his former club should offer Halliday a new deal simply for his experience alone.
Speaking to Football Insider, he said: “Halliday’s out of contract, will they keep him in?
"He seems to be favoured at left-back with [Borna] Barisic.
“I would hand him a new deal. I think he knows what it’s all about to play for Rangers.
"Whenever he’s been called on he’s done a job, whether it be at left-back – it can be difficult for players to be shifted about.
“I think he has, over the period of time, done well when he’s filled in. These are the sort of players that you need.
“I’ve spoke a million times about players with experience who know how to fight, work hard, knows what the fans want, puts in 100 per cent every time – these are the kind of guys you need in your squad.
"If it was up to me, I would definitely hand him something.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
