Jake Hastie set for Rangers return as forgotten Ibrox winger frozen out by Partick Thistle during nightmare loan

Struggling Jake Hastie is set be shipped back to Rangers after failing to make the grade at Partick Thistle.

The 22-year-old has endured a tough time with the Championship playoff hopefuls since signing in the summer on loan.

He has been warming the Firhill bench for three months with his last appearance coming in October 30 against Dunfermline.

Boss Ian McCall bombed with winger out of his matchday squad entirely during the draw with Hamilton on Saturday.

With his loan coming to an end this month, the Jags are unlikely to look to extend the short-term deal and he is expected to return to Auchenhowie in the coming days.

Hastie is under contract at Ibrox until the end of next season and will hope to catch the eye of new boss Gio van Bronckhorst having made just two first-team appearances for the club since his 2019 arrival.

He was relegated to the Rangers Colts side before being agreeing a temporary move to Maryhill in a bid to jump-start his career.

Big things were expected from the winger when he was snapped up as a free agent from Motherwell.

He burst onto the scene at Fir Park, and quickly caught the eye of sporting director Ross Wilson.

Hastie was then shipped out on loan to Rotherham, and then made his return to The Steelmen during an ill-fated return last term.

The club may decide to cut their losses with the winger this month and look to seal a permanent exit away from Govan after a disappointing spell so far.
