A return to Rangers for fan favourite Joe Aribo is being touted by some fans - with Michael Beale left searching for a Malik Tillman replacement going into the new season.
However, the Ibrox punters may have already had their answer from the Southampton playmaker. The Nigeria international has helped his country qualify for the African Cup on Nations to round off a disappointing first campaign in the English Premier League following his move to the south coast having been used sparingly by three bosses last season - Ralph Hasenhuttl, Nathan Jones and Ruben Selles - and dropped to the U23s at times this season.
Aribo is facing the prospect of playing Championship football next term after the Saints finished rock bottom of the English top flight - just over a year since he wrote his name in Rangers history by netting in the Europa League Final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. And with Tillman unlikely to return to Ibrox - some supporters on social media are calling for Beale to make a move to bring Aribo back on loan.
