Birmingham City’s Greg Stewart, joined Aberdeen on loan yesterday.
The forward spent the early part of the season at Kilmarnock and impressed with his contributions.
He scored an impressive eights goals and registered six assists, in the SPL.
However, when he was recalled to St Andrews earlier this month, there was speculation about his future.
According to the Scottish Sun, he had an opportunity to return to Killie, but chose the Dons instead.
In the grand scheme of things, though, even Aberdeen may not have been his ideal choice.
Rumour has it, that Stewart grew up a Rangers fan.
A video that emerged on Twitter last week seemed to hint towards that, when he named Brian Laudrup as his favourite ever Scottish top flight player.

Have Rangers missed an opportunity?
Clearly, if a transfer target is a fan of the club, it’s only going to help securing his services.
Stewart doesn’t seem to have been on Steven Gerrard’s radar though.
The forward department has already been bolstered by the arrival of Jermain Defoe, but with Ryan Hardie heading back out on loan, there may have been room for an addition at Ibrox.
He may not have started regularly, but if he is indeed a fan of the club, just getting a chance to pull on the jersey at Ibrox, may have been enough to bring him in.
This isn’t disastrous by any means, but he certainly could have added something to Gerrard’s squad.
He proved himself over the first half of the season. For Aberdeen, there’s no doubt this was an astute short-term move.
