Jason Cummings 'turned his life around' down under as former Rangers striker backed for World Cup slot

Central Coast Mariners boss Nick Montgomery reckons former Hibs and Rangers striker Jason Cummings is more than capable of reaching the World Cup in Qatar this year after shining in his team.

The striker started his career in Edinburgh and made himself a hero with 71 goals across 149 games, but off the field antics is what he's gathered a name for also. His move to Nottingham Forest five years ago didn't quite click and a loan to Rangers brought six goals in 18 games before eventually ending up at Shrewsbury Town in 2019.

18 months ago, Cummings returned north with Dundee but that spell ended in disarray after claims from former boss James McPake that he was unfit to train after attending an Open Goal event back in December. His professionalism was questioned and it was claimed the striker was in no condition to join his teammates, not featuring for them again.
