Rangers target Luis Palma enjoyed a superb evening on Wednesday as he ran riot in a 4-2 Aris Thessaloniki win.
The Gers have been heavily linked with a move for Aris star Palma in recent weeks.
Reports from Greek outlet Sportime suggested in April that Rangers would be scouting Palma in action for Aris against Olympiacos.
Palma makes sense as a potential replacement for Ryan Kent, who is set to leave for Rangers on a free transfer this summer as things stand.
Palma won’t come cheap though; SportDog in Greece report that Aris would want around £4.4million.
That’s a hefty price for Rangers to pay but Palma is making a strong case to be worth that kind of price.
Luis Palma shines in Aris win
Aris were in action on Wednesday evening as they hosted Volos NFC in the Greek Super League.
Palma ran riot in a 4-2 victory, opening the scoring with a fine finish.
Not even three minutes were on the clock when Volos failed to clear a cross and Palma was on hand to fire past a sleeping goalkeeper.
Palma added a second before half time, converting from the penalty spot to make it 2-0.
Volos did grab one back but Palma produced a stunning assist with the outside of his right foot, expertly picking out Andre Gray to score.
If Rangers want goals, creativity and a bit of unpredictability, maybe Palma is their man.
Burnley join Palma race
The problem for Rangers is that a number of other clubs are keen.
The Daily Record note that Burnley – recently promoted to the Premier League – are also keen on Palma.
The Clarets have been heavily linked with Ryan Kent, the man Rangers are ultimately trying to replace.
Burnley seem unlikely to sign both Kent and Palma but Rangers’ plans could be up in the as Vincent Kompany makes his plans.
Rangers may well be impressed with Palma, but interest will only increase with each passing display.
