And McLaughlin has emerged as a possible replacement for the Ibrox-bound veteran, after an impressive season at Hearts.

Then a Burton Albion player, McLaughlin is said to have been a target for Hull during last summer’s transfer window, but after having his hopes of a move scuppered by injury the Edinburgh native signed a one-year deal with his hometown club instead.

Should the Tigers get their man, he is likely to compete with David Marshall and Will Mannion for a first team place next season.

McGregor returned from the cold to dislodge both players at the start of the campaign, but a return to Rangers appears to have been too good to turn down.

The 36-year-old began his career at Ibrox and spent 14 years in Glasgow before moving to Hull, via Besiktas, in 2013.
