PEDRO CAIXINHA reckons midfielder Jason Holt is the kind of player that every manager wants in his squad after another impressive Ibrox outing.

The 23-year-old has established himself as a key part of Caixinha’s plans in the Portuguese’s first few matches as Rangers boss.

Holt has been deployed in a deeper midfield role in recent weeks and was integral for the Light Blues once again as Partick Thistle were beaten 2-0 on Saturday.

And boss Caixinha is delighted with the impact that the former Hearts star is making at present as attentions turn to the Old Firm Scottish Cup semi-final this weekend.

He told RangersTV: “Jason is that type of player that all the coaches like to have.

“You don’t need to tell him that much and of course there are a few points that we need to add to Jason’s game.

“But he’s fantastic, he’s so humble, he’s so energetic and his batteries are like those rabbits’ that are never stopping.

“He’s a guy that is committed to playing a proactive game all the time so I’m very pleased with him.

“He’s giving us a lot and, of course, it’s that type of player you like to have in your squad because of his consistency and what you can expect from him. It’s always present on the pitch.”
