Some Glasgow Rangers fans have suggested Steven Gerrard should look to bring Aaron Hickey to Ibrox.
A number of Rangers fans took to Twitter during Saturday’s Scottish Cup final to suggest that Steven Gerrard should make a move for Aaron Hickey after the 16-year-old’s outstanding display at Hampden Park.
Hearts are coming to terms with cup final agony as they suffered a 2-1 defeat having taken the lead and been the better side for much of the game. And perhaps one of the reasons for Celtic’s struggles was James Forrest’s inability to stamp his authority on the game.
Forrest may have expected to have everything go his own way as he lined up against the 16-year-old, who was making only his third senior appearance and only his second professional start.
