Former Rangers and Nottingham Forest manager Alex McLeish has told The Scottish Sun that James McFadden sees a bit of himself in Jason Cummings.

Cummings, who joined Rangers on loan from Nottingham Forest in the January transfer window, is part of the current Scotland squad.

Scotland national football team coach McLeish has spoken highly of the 22-year-old former Hibernian striker.

The former Hibernian, Rangers and Forest manager has also revealed that McFadden seems a bit of himself in Cummings.

The 34-year-old former Everton and Motherwell striker was recently appointed as the Scotland assistant coach.

McLeish told The Scottish Sun: “Jason can be a bit of a maverick. He’s young and he has that wee bit of gallusness you would want to have in every single player.

“I said to James McFadden ‘Do you see a bit of you in him?’. He admitted he did a wee bit, aye.”

In form

Cummings struggled to make an impact at Forest following his move from Hibernian in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Nottingham Forest to be worth £1 million.

The Scotland international striker is in good form for Rangers at the moment, and one should not be surprised if the Gers sign him on a permanent contract in the summer transfer window.
