Pat Nevin has suggested that Billy Gilmour could return to Rangers amid his lack of consistent minutes at Napoli.
The midfielder joined the Scudetto-hopefuls at the beginning of the season and has gone on to feature in 25 of their 38 matches this term.
Gilmour has completed just five full 90s for his side in 2024/25 and Nevin, who turned out for the likes of Chelsea, Everton, Tranmere, Kilmarnock and Motherwell, thinks the Scot has a decision to make: "In reality, there are two ways of looking at it," he said [NewBettingSites.uk via RecordSport].

"Accept that you are going to be one of those players who play half of the games every season.
"So you've got two choices. Choice number one is accept that's your career, that's your life, that's what happens. You are going to play with some great clubs, win some trophies, people are going to love you and you are going to play until you're 40 because you're going to be relaxed and that's a good career for Billy.
"The other possibility, I wonder if Celtic and Rangers need a controlling, creative player. It is that one where, if he comes up to Celtic or Rangers, he takes over from Callum McGregor or becomes the new Barry Ferguson. That's it.
"I'm not sure where else with Billy. That sounds like a weird choice but I actually think that's the choice that Billy has got now. For some people, I don't know what it would be. For me, I want to play football. I would just go wherever I could play, because I loved playing football.
"But I don't know what Billy will think. Whatever he thinks, I would back him on it. I would just say the most important thing, 'As long as you are available for Scotland mate, I don't care!'"
Gilmour initially came through at Rangers and trained with their first team before departing for Chelsea in 2017.
A boyhood fan of the club, it remains to be seen if he will ever make a senior appearance in light blue.
