Pedro Caixinha should risk the wrath of his own Rangers fans by bringing ex-Celtic playmaker Shaun Maloney to Ibrox this summer.
The 34-year-old is currently plying his trade with Hull City, who have just suffered relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.
In what is likely to be a major reshuffle at the KCOM Stadium, Maloney should opt to leave the Yorkshire club and move north of the border in a move that could help him resurrect his international career with Scotland.
Making just 14 appearances last season in all competitions, Maloney has plummeted down the pecking order in Gordon Strachan’s thinking and a move back to the Scottish Premiership could be just what he needs.
This Is Futbol considers three reasons why Maloney would be crucial in helping the Gers catch their Old Firm rivals after 39 points separated the Gers between the playmaker’s former side Celtic.
