Rangers have held talks with Daniel Cousin regarding the possibility of taking the veteran striker back to Ibrox on a free transfer.

Cousin: Could return to Ibrox

Cousin impressed with Rangers during the 2007/08 season before leaving for Hull and he could be a short-term answer to Ally McCoist's striking problems.

McCoist saw Nikica Jelavic leave for Everton before the closure of the transfer window and the SPL champions were unable to bring in a replacement.

A move for Cousin is now in the pipeline after the Gabon international impressed at the Africa Cup of Nations during the co-hosts' run to the quarter-finals.

He has most recently been playing in his homeland for FC Sapins and reports claim Rangers are waiting for confirmation that Cousin is eligible to sign for the club on a free transfer.

The 35-year-old's agent Willie McKay has confirmed there have been discussions and that Cousin is interested in a return to Ibrox.

McKay told the Daily Record: "Daniel had talks with Ally McCoist and everything looks very positive.

"He has a few offers on the table because of his recent form with Gabon but he is keen on the idea of returning to Rangers.

"The last time I took him there they won the title so who's to say it won't happen again?"
