Rangers sold Cedric Itten last summer and the striker has now made himself a hero with Swiss side Young Boys.
Rangers paid around £2.7million to sign Itten from St Gallen back in the summer of 2020.
The hope was that Itten would bring his scoring form to Glasgow after 30 goals in 61 outings for St Gallen.
That never really happened at Ibrox though as Itten was limited to just eight goals in 48 appearances.
After a loan spell with German side Greuther Furth, Itten was sent packing on a permanent basis.
Rangers recouped £1.5million on Itten by selling him to Young Boys and the return to Switzerland is going well.
Cedric Itten becomes derby day hero
Itten had already racked up 11 goals and seven assists in 23 outings for Young Boys before Sunday’s big game against rivals Basel.
The 26-year-old surprisingly didn’t start but came off the bench with just about half an hour to go.
Itten went on to write himself into Young Boys folklore by smashing a 13-minute hat-trick to secure a thumping 3-0 win.
Itten scored his first on 76 minutes and has finally been credited with the goal after it was initially noted as an own goal.
By the 89th minute, Itten had added two more to take the game away from Basel and give himself a day to remember.
Rangers fans may wonder where this kind of goalscoring ability was hiding during Itten’s time at Ibrox.
Being back in Switzerland is no doubt helping Itten though and if Rangers added a sell-on clause into his move, they may just hope to see Itten back a few more hat-tricks yet.
