Tam McManus has suggested on Twitter that Rangers should have signed Lyndon Dykes in the January transfer window.

The former Hibernian forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, believes that Dykes would have added another dimension to the Rangers attack.

McManus has said that Steven Gerrard’s side struggle against teams who sit in, and has stated that the 24-year-old Australian striker would have helped the Gers cope with that.

The Scotsman made the comments following Rangers’ defeat in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening.
