Kyle Lafferty is a medical away from returning to Rangers, according to reports.
The Northern Irish striker has been a target for the Ibrox club for much of this summer, with the Gers having a bid for him rejected before finally persuading the Jambos to play ball.
He’s to have a medical at the club today ahead of sealing a return to Govan six years after leaving.
And here’s why fans are very excited about Lafferty’s return:
He’s Still Got it
He may have started this season with just one goal from seven games (it was against Celtic, mind you!), but last term was a very successful one for the Hearts striker. He hit 19 goals in all competitions and was a big part of the Jambos’ revival under Craig Levein.
He’s a Fans’ Favourite
