Rangers player admits future depends on two factors as possible return to former club addressed
The Ibrox prospect spent last season playing in the Scottish Championship
Rangers player Paul Nsio is in the process of returning to Ibrox from his successful loan spell at Raith Rovers - however he isn’t ruling out a return to Kirkcaldy beyond the summer.
The 20-year old has been in fine form at Stark’s Park this season and has been the standout in a struggling Rovers team. Since making his short term switch from Ibrox in the summer, Nsio has subsequently made 32 appearances and recently cleaned up at their Player of the Year awards.
Rangers now have a decision to make regarding the versatile midfield, whose featured for Raith both as a six and as a ten this season. Rovers boss Dougie Imrie has made no secret that he’d like to see Nsio stay for another year, however former Rangers icon Barry Ferguson has also been on record saying he can make the jump to the Premiership with a team like Kilmarnock.
Rangers star would ‘happily return’ to former club
This season’s loan move has been mutually beneficial to Rangers, who saw their youngster acquire valuable minutes at senior level and Raith, who acquired a quality player that helped them win the Scottish Challenge Cup. Nsio himself is unsure what the immediate future holds for him, but he isn’t ruling out a return to Fife. Speaking to Courier Sport, he said: “I’ve had so many questions about that, you know (on potential Rovers return).
“It really depends. It depends on my agent, and it depends on Rangers. If I was to come back, I’d love to come back. The fanbase, the people around the club, they’re really positive and, you know, this club has an ambition to go to the top. It’s a thing where we’ll have to see in the transfer window. But if I want a little bit more men’s football, then I would happily come back to Raith Rovers.”
Nsio ‘keen’ to show Rohl what he can do
The battler still has a year left on his contract at Ibrox and is hoping he’s done enough in the second tier to prove to manager Danny Rohl that he’s good enough for Rangers. He continued: “I signed a two-year deal with Rangers before I came to Raith Rovers. So, I’m just going to really try to show the gaffer [Danny Rohl] what I’m capable of in pre-season. And then from there, anything can happen.
“As a young boy, you always want to play football. And let’s say, for example, Rangers want me to go out on loan again, they can see that it can improve my game and my game understanding. I’ll always look back at my time at Raith Rovers in a positive light.”
