Former Chelsea and Rangers star Brian Laudrup says that would be "no better place" for Billy Gilmour to flourish than at Ibrox.
The midfielder was linked with a loan move to Rangers before the end of the January transfer window with a lack of game time this season at Stamford Bridge.
The midfielder has already shown the talent he has in fleeting glimpses under Frank Lampard's tutelage, and Thomas Tuchel elected to keep the 19-year-old at Chelsea shortly after he replaced Lampard as manager.
Gilmour was a part of the Chelsea squad for the first time under Tuchel in the trip to face Sheffield United, though he did not get onto the pitch in the win against Chris Wilder's side.
Laudrup says that Gilmour will be a "very interesting" proposition for Scotland at the rearranged Euro 2020 tournament if he can get some game time at Chelsea, but says a loan move might be the best solution in the summer if he fails to find much first-team action.
"If he can get a number of games at Chelsea and show [Thomas] Tuchel he is definitely capable of playing in his team, he then becomes very interesting for Scotland ahead of the Euros," Laudrup told the Scottish Daily Mail.
"He’s got the talent, for sure, to succeed at international level, but you have to grow first as a player and a person with your club. I read that he would have been interested in a loan before the window closed to improve his chances of making Steve Clarke’s squad.
"The fact Chelsea kept him is a show of faith on their part, but if he doesn’t play much this season, then a temporary move might be best for all parties in the summer.
"Would a return to Rangers be suitable then? I know Steven Gerrard denied they were looking to take Gilmour on loan last month, when he described him as ‘a fabulous little player’.
"It’s all hypothetical, of course, but it’s a thought that intrigues me for the future.
"Look at the Rangers midfield just now. Steven Davis does that deep-lying playmaker role extremely well but he will be another year older next season and won’t be able to play every week. I think we saw again at Hamilton how much he can be missed when he’s not in the side.
"From Gilmour’s point of view, there could be Champions League group stage football on offer. That would be another incentive for his development.
"Also, while some people in England might talk negatively about Scottish football at times, I don’t think you could find a better place than Rangers to get game time and play in the right style of football.
"That’s crucial. People at Chelsea would know the technical type of play Gerrard demands of his team.
"To me, that kind of situation would be a win-win for everyone. Whether it’s possible, I really don’t know. We’ll find out in three or four months’ time, perhaps. But just as an idea, it carries an appeal."
