The Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is bringing Jake Hastie back to Ibrox.

The exiled Rangers winger Jake Hastie is heading back to Ibrox.

Hastie moved to Rangers in the summer transfer window, but was loaned to Rotherham United after just two Gers appearances.

A bight start – which yielded three goals from as many Millers outings – followed.

But Hastie failed to add to that tally – despite 13 more attempts as he gradually fell further out of favour – prompting Rangers to act.

And the 21-year-old is set to spend the rest of the campaign competing for a place in Steven Gerrard’s Rangers side, having already appeared for the maximum number of clubs permitted in a single campaign (two).

This is what those of a Rotherham persuasion made of Hastie’s spell in South Yorkshire…

Rangers have already allowed two of their winger, Jamie Murphy and Eros Grezda, to depart this month and Brandon Barker and Jordan Jones could follow, according to The Daily Record.

Even so, Hastie would still have Ryan Kent, Sheyi Ojo, Greg Stewart and Glenn Middleton for company at Ibrox.
