Rangers have been told they made a "massive mistake" by not signing Josh Mulligan.
It was believed the Ibrox men had the midfielder lined up on a free transfer from Dundee, set to follow in the footsteps of Lyall Cameron. But new owners and a new manager came in and things changed.
Instead, the 22-year-old headed for Hibs and has made a cracking start to life at Easter Road, impressing domestically and on the European stage. A beauty of a strike against Livingston at the weekend was the cherry on top of a dream start.
Rangers could have done with someone with Mulligan's drive and energy in the middle of the pitch so far.
And Tam McManus reckons they will live to regret not snapping him up.
He told the Daily Record: "It’s a massive mistake from Rangers not to have signed Josh Mulligan. Their loss has been very much Hibs’ gain.

"Everyone knows that Rangers were in from Mulligan before their American-led takeover. Russell Martin then came in and didn’t really fancy him.
"That opened the door for Hibs. From what I have seen from him so far he has been an absolute standout at Easter Road.
"He’s really, really fit, talented and Scottish, which is great as well.
"I’ve liked him for a number of years at Dundee, from when they were down in the Championship and then won promotion back to the Premiership.
"He can play in numerous positions and he’s got a great engine.
"The only real thing he was lacking was a finished product. But if he scores more goals like he did at the weekend then the Hibs fans will be delighted."
