Rangers legend Ally McCoist has urged the club to try and find a way to keep Ryan Kent next season.
The winger has been in sensational form for the Gers this season, a far cry from his less-than-successful loan spell at Bristol City last season.
City were fined by Kent's parent club Liverpool for not playing him enough and he subsequently moved on loan to Ibrox last summer.
He has been very impressive for the Gers, but a £12m asking price means it is unlikely they will be able to sign him on a permanent basis.
However, the Daily Star reports that McCoist has urged the club to look into another loan deal.
He said: "Kent has been fabulous this season. Since coming back from his injury lay-off he's been terrific and for me he was the best player on the park against Celtic.

"I'd imagine if there's any way Steven could keep him, he'd be desperate to do so. However, it looks like another loan deal is the only way it could happen.
"His performances might just have priced Rangers out the market for him. I might be wrong but I think Rangers' best chance of keeping him would be a loan deal for next season."
