Versatile Rangers right-back-turned-midfielder Matt Polster is set for a return to the United States, according to reports.

According to the Glasgow Times, the American international is in talks with New England Revolution as his Scottish adventure is set to come to an end after only 18 months.

Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope believes that Rangers could recoup up to £300k for the player after he joined the Ibrox club following the expiration of his contract at Chicago Fire.

Polster, 27, made only 10 appearances in a Rangers shirt including a 3-1 debut victory at Tynecastle last April.

Six of those appearances came in the Scottish Premiership.

Polster struggled to break through into the Rangers side ahead of club captain James Tavernier and was always up against it competing against the influential Englishman.

But that doesn’t mean that Rangers fans didn’t appreciate the effort Polster put in whilst wearing a Rangers shirt or his passion for the club off the pitch.

The likable American will be remembered fondly by the Rangers support for how quickly he took to the Ibrox club, with his family famously donning Gers strips during a visit to Scotland.

Wife and ESPN broadcaster Brittany Held will also be remembered by Gers fans after she also passionately took to the Gers in a spate of videos and social media posts.
