Rangers signing this in-form 22-year-old would be a brilliant long-term move by Gerrard
Why Kevin Nisbet would be a good long-term signing for Rangers
According to claims from Football Insider, as cited by The Scotsman, Rangers are keeping tabs on Dunfermline Athletic striker Kevin Nisbet, with the report suggesting that the Gers are set to monitor his progress at close quarters in the coming months.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form for Dunfermline in the Scottish Championship this season, accumulating an impressive tally of 10 goals and 5 assists in 18 appearances across all competitions, and his heroics in the second-tier has put Rangers on red alert.
The Glasgow-born centre-forward rose through the youth ranks at Patrick Thistle and excelled in the SPFL Development League before bursting onto the scene at the senior level in the Scottish Premiership during the 2015-16 campaign.
However, with regular minutes hard to come by at his boyhood club, he only played a bit-part role in the first-team. He spent time on loan at Dumbarton and Ayr United in the Scottish Championship, as well as at East Stirlingshire in the Scottish League Two.
Nisbet completed a permanent transfer to League One outfit Raith Rovers last summer and prolific returns of 34 goals in 46 games across all competitions in the previous campaign paved the way for a move to Dunfermline Athletic prior to the start of the ongoing season.
The 22-year-old hasn’t looked back since then and has kicked on from where he had signed off last season, with the striker replicating his prolific form in front of goal.
The youngster’s red-hot form hasn’t eluded the eyes of the Ibrox giants and if he continues to fire on all cylinders at East End Park in the coming months, a return to the top-flight shouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility in January or next summer.
To put things into perspective, Kevin Nisbet has certainly made eyeballs turn with his heroics at Dunfermline.
Still only 22, the Glasgow-born starlet has plenty of time on his side to make significant adjustments to his game in order to match the demands of playing in the top-flight. Thus, Rangers shouldn’t make the mistake of judging him based on his previous exploits at Patrick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.
Agreed, Nisbet had struggled to make an impact on the Scottish top-flight back earlier in his career but it is hard to deny the fact that he was quite young when he first burst on to the scene at the Firhill Stadium.
As evident from his goal returns in recent times, Nisbet has added a lot more pedigree to his game. Honing his skills in the lower divisions have certainly helped him add a lot more to his repertoire.
Verdict
With Jermain Defoe and Alfredo Morelos going all guns blazing, Rangers haven’t been short of goals this term. That said, they are yet to bring in a replacement for Kyle Lafferty, who departed Ibrox to join Norwegian club Sarpsborg in the summer.
Furthermore, with Defoe at the twilight of his career at 37 and Alfredo Morelos attracting interest from several European clubs, including ones in the Premier League, (Football Insider, h/t Daily Express) Rangers should sign someone like Kevin Nisbet.
Lawrence Shankland, who is still plying his trade with Dundee United in the second-tier, has earned international recognition for Scotland and Nisbet could be the next in line to follow in his footsteps.

Steven Gerrard has done exceedingly well since taking over at Rangers last year but with several ageing stars still operating as some of the mainstays, the Gers would eventually need to show some much-needed far-sightedness in the transfer window.
Suffice to say, Kevin Nisbet is a talented player and Gerrard should continue to keep a close eye on his development before making an official approach for his services.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
