Brechin boss Ray McKinnon is keen to bring Rangers midfielder Kyle McAusland back to the club until the end of the season.
The Ibrox youngster joined City on loan in September with the 21-year-old netting three times in 11 appearances for the Angus side.
His spell at the Glebe came to an end on December 27 but McKinnon is now attempting to snap him up again after another on-loan player, Aberdeen’s Jamie Masson, returned to Pittodrie following Saturday’s Angus derby win over Forfar.
The manager said: “Kyle did really well for us and scored a few goals during his spell at the club.
“I believe he is keen to come back and I would like to sign him until the end of the season.
“However, he is still a Rangers player so we will have to see what happens.”
McKinnon also admitted he is running the rule over a couple of other possible signings but he was keeping his cards close to his chest over their identities.
However, he was more than happy to praise the contribution of on-loan Dundee striker Craig Wighton, who made his first start for Brechin in the 2-0 victory over Forfar at Station Park at the weekend.
The 17-year-old was prominent throughout and provided a superb assist for Alan Trouten’s goal which sealed City’s victory.
McKinnon said: “Craig did really well against Forfar. I was pleased with his contribution. He has everything really he is quick, brave and has great feet.
“I am sure that playing regular first-team football at Brechin can only benefit him.”
