Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers did not extend Ryan Hardie’s deal before loaning him out.

Ryan Hardie of St Mirren misses a fine chance during the match beTFRED Cup Group Stage match between St Mirren and Edinburgh City at St Mirren Park on July 30, 2016 in Paisley, Scotland.

It looks like the writing may be on the wall for Ryan Hardie with regards to his Rangers career.

The 20-year-old is out of contract at Ibrox this summer and joined Livingston on a half-season loan last week, without signing a new deal with the Gers.

Therefore, it seems like Rangers boss Graeme Murty might be willing to lose him for free once his contract expires.

But who knows, a goal-laden stint in the Championship might make Murty think twice and the young striker certainly got his most recent loan spell off to a flyer this past weekend.

Hardie was on the scoresheet as David Hopkins’s side edged out Dumbarton 2-0 on Saturday.

But fans of the Ibrox club seem divided over him on Twitter.

Hardie has two goals in 12 senior appearances for the Gers, and has scored 15 in 34 Championship appearances during various loans with St Mirren and Raith Rovers.

There is a talent there, but whether he has enough of it to make it at Ibrox remains to be seen.
