Many Rangers fans have urged their club to swoop for Scotland international striker Kevin Nisbet in the summer transfer window.
The Gers were said to be scouting Nisbet back in November 2019, during his time at Dunfermline [Glasgow Times].
However, the links came to nothing, with the forward instead returning to Hibernian – where he had begun his youth career – in July 2020.
He enjoyed an impressive first full season at Easter Road, scoring 18 goals and notching eight assists from 44 appearances across all competitions.
His exploits for the capital club earned him international recognition with Scotland and he is one of three out-and-out strikers Steve Clarke is taking to Euro 2020.
Nisbet made just his second senior international appearance in a friendly against the Netherlands in Portugal on Wednesday night and scored almost immediately after coming on, finishing confidently at the back post from an Andy Robertson cross.
He continued to impress throughout his half-hour cameo and not for the first time this season, his efforts caught the eye of more than a few Bears, plenty of whom are urging their club to swoop this summer.
