Jason Cummings’ early form for Nottingham Forest has confirmed many Rangers fans’ suspicions.

The former Hibernian striker was linked with a move to Rangers throughout Mark Warburton’s tenure at Ibrox, and the Englishman finally got his man at Forest this summer.

Cummings scored 71 goals in 149 games for Hibs, but is said to have cost the East Midlands side a mere £1 million.

And having found the net three times in two starts for his new employers – including a double at Premier League Newcastle United on Wednesday – it’s fair to say the 22-year-old has proved something of a bargain so far.

Rangers paid a similar amount to sign Eduardo Herrera from Pumas, but the Mexican striker has yet to open his account for Pedro Caixinha’s side, which appears to have emphasised their perceived oversight regarding Cummings.

Should Rangers have signed the Nottingham Forest star instead? Here’s how their fans reacted to his latest exploits on Twitter:
