So far, he has featured 28 times. That’s despite a few niggling injuries and a suspension.
He’s been at his most effective in the league, notching five goals and registering four assists.
In addition, he scored in Rangers’ dramatic 2-2 draw away at Villarreal in the Europa League.

However, his best performance, came in last month’s Old Firm.

He dominated Scott Brown in midfield and has since become a cult hero for his display.
“I think everybody maxed out for the Celtic game. Rightly so, but every game should be that big when you play for a club of this size”, said Arfield.
“Every game should be that.”
It’s comments like these that have helped gain the Canada international such popularity amongst the Rangers fans.
He understands what’s expected when he pulls on the shirt and showed his passion when the final whistle went against Celtic.

Of course, he is right.
It’s an old cliche, but if Rangers get ahead of themselves and don’t take each game as it comes, they are doomed.
In order to achieve title number 55, the players need to max out effort levels each and every week.
