As reported by The Daily Record, Norwich City attacker Kyle Lafferty is keen on a move back to Rangers, regretting the circumstances in which he left Ibrox side in 2012.

What's the story?

This summer is a massive one for Rangers with significant rebuilding required if they are to get close to their great city rivals Celtic next season.

Perhaps a move for a proven goalscorer is in order?

Step forward Kyle Lafferty who has been speaking to The Daily Record about his time in Glasgow and how much a return to Ibrox would mean to him.

He left the club in 2012 in the midst of Rangers' financial meltdown, something that didn't go down too well with fans, but he's hoping to make it up to them by scoring goals in Glasgow once again.

As quoted by The Daily Record, Lafferty said:

I still have a lot of great memories and I would like to go back and play for Rangers again one day. The way I left was disappointing and I have thought about it over and over again and the situation a lot of players found themselves in. It was a difficult time and if I had the opportunity again I would stay and fight for the club and try to help them as much as possible.

The striker also revealed to the paper that his contract will be finishing up at Norwich in a matter of weeks, meaning he'll be a free agent this summer.

Is he worth interest from Rangers?

Worth another go?

Lafferty scored 38 goals in 138 appearances for Rangers in all competitions, at a time when the club were incredibly competitive with Celtic. He wasn't always deployed through the middle, often found on the flanks in support of a goal poacher, so that return isn't too shabby.

He was a hugely important figure in the title winning season of 2010/11, the last time the Gers picked up major honours.

Since then he hasn't quite done the job at club level but did become something of a talisman for Northern Ireland during their bid to qualify for Euro 2016, scoring six goals on their route to the finals.

If he returned, fans would at least no they were getting a certain commitment and level of quality from the attacker, likely an improvement on the likes of Joe Garner and Martyn Waghorn.

They need players willing to put it all on the line for Rangers and while he did leave the club in 2012 for the betterment of his career, his regret over those circumstances could make this a move good for both the player and the club.
