Glasgow Rangers-owned forward Ryan Hardie is currently out on loan, but is back training with the Ibrox side.

Thriving in the Premiership will do Hardie’s chances of earning a new contract the world of good. And based on his latest social media post, it may not be too long before he gets the opportunity to impress Rangers once again.
