Rangers are reported to be keen on former Ibrox trainee Ross McCormack.
Ross McCormack has been linked with making a surprise return to former club Rangers, Teamtalk report.
The Gers are claimed to be considering a switch for McCormack, who began his career at Ibrox.
McCormack, 32, has no future at Aston Villa after being told he does not figure in manager Steve Bruce’s plans.
Villa signed McCormack for £12 million from Fulham in 2016, but he never really settled at the club.
He was loaned out to Australian side Melbourne City last year and rediscovered his scoring touch, netting 13 times in 15 games.
Despite this, he faces being left on the scrapheap if he cannot clinch a move this month.
Rangers are progressing well under new manager Steven Gerrard, and while they could do with adding another striker, they will get by without one.
McCormack needs the transfer far more than Rangers do, to get his career back on track.
Crucially this is a case of right move at the right time for McCormack, with the prospect of playing for his former club potentially relighting his passion for the game.
McCormack was the best striker in the English second tier between 2013 and 2016, scoring 61 league goals for Leeds and Fulham.
He is worth Rangers taking a gamble on if he can show he is keen and has the passion to be a part of what Rangers are trying to build.
Really he should be the one knocking on Steven Gerrard’s door pleading for a deal to reinvigorate his career.
His lack of current options can only help the Gers in negotiations if it comes down to it.
