The Rangers utility player Ross McCrorie was back with his Ibrox peers as Steven Gerrard’s side flew out of Glasgow this week.
Ross McCrorie’s presence on Rangers’ winter break trip to Dubai has provoked a strong reaction among fans of the Ibrox midfielder’s loan club.
McCrorie was pictured with the Rangers players at Glasgow airport earlier this week and it has yet to be explained why.
The most likely explanation is that the 21-year-old, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has returned to his parent club to continue his rehab, as he did earlier in the campaign.
But some Portsmouth supporters are wondering if there’s more to it than that…
McCrorie has flitted between right-back and central midfield for Portsmouth, who have strengthened their options in the latter position in the absence of the Rangers academy product.
And it seems the following Pompey fans wouldn’t miss him if he was to have his loan cut short – something that can be done in January.
Rangers have already sent one midfielder, Andy King, back to his parent club this month, with another two, Matt Polster and Greg Docherty, are being linked with moves away from Steven Gerrard’s side.
