Ryan Jack will be Rangers title key as old Ibrox pal pinpoints one big difference since injury return

Graham Dorrans reckons Ryan Jack has returned a better player from his injury nightmare.

Several comeback attempts were shelved and he’d made five substitute appearances since November before a starring start in the 5-0 romp over Hearts.

“It’s been immensely difficult for Jacko,” said Dorrans. “I
