Best Rangers Star Player could open door for £16m star who has “unfinished business” at Rangers

The Scotland international right-back, 21, broke the Ibrox club’s transfer record when he sealed a £12m rising to £16m switch to the Premier League in January 2022.

Since then, Everton have have had four managers with Nathan Patterson working under Rafa Benitez, Duncan Ferguson, Frank Lampard, and now Sean Dyche.

And it’s under the gravelly-throated Northerner that things have stuttered at Goodison Park with a lack of minutes – and the reaction to a patronising training camp slap – sending all the wrong signals.

Now, amid murmurs one leading Rangers star is attracting a Saudi fortune, could a Nathan Patterson return to Ibrox solve a number of problems for all parties?

At the time of writing, Patterson has made 19 appearances for Everton this season but hasn’t got off the bench in their last seven Premier League matches.

Given that only this weekend Rangers captain James Tavernier became British football’s highest scoring defender of all-time (131), it seems sacrilegious to suggest he might leave Ibrox.

A mainstay in the side over the last nine seasons, Hall of Famer Tavernier is in with the bricks at the famous stadium and it’s hard to imagine a Rangers team without the club’s ever-blue captain marauding down the right hand side.
