Rangers have been linked with a move to bring Greg Stewart to Ibrox.
Rangers lost 2-1 to Celtic on Sunday afternoon, again highlighting the need for new signings at Ibrox come the end of the season.
Steven Gerrard and Mark Allen will already have one eye on the summer transfer window, and Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones will be arriving for free ahead of next season.
Rangers may now look to bring in one of Jones’ former teammates, as Greg Stewart could be a top target for Gerrard on a free transfer according to the Daily Record.
The 29-year-old is out of contract at Birmingham City at the end of the season, and will see out the final months of the season on loan at Aberdeen.
Stewart, who started his career at Ibrox as a Rangers youngster, hit eight goals in 16 games on loan for Kilmarnock earlier this season, but then moved on to Aberdeen in January.
It was a curious move after failing there last term, and it’s going the same way again, having scored just once in 13 games for the Dons since his return to Pittodrie.
Whilst he’s a boyhood Rangers fan, Stewart hasn’t exactly set pulses racing amongst Gers fans, who have been taking to Twitter to react to the rumour.
Some believe that Stewart simply isn’t the quality of player needed to take Rangers forward, claiming that Gerrard is mad if he thinks this is the signing Rangers are looking for, adding that they were expecting a little better calibre of target.
Others think Stewart could add a little more creativity and should be given a chance if he does sign, but the general consensus is one of major disappointment.
