Vladimir Weiss is more eager than most Rangers players and fans for the club's takeover saga to reach a successful conclusion as he awaits news on his future.
The Manchester City winger saw his Rangers loan come to a premature end this month when he was ruled out of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League run-in with a broken foot after hitting five goals in 35 matches.
Weiss told the Rangers News: "I would definitely love to come back here if it was the case that City were going to put me out on loan again rather than play me next season themselves."
Weiss fears Rangers will not be able to match City's asking price should they look to buy him, but that may possibly change if Craig Whyte finally succeeds with his buyout, and another loan deal could also be ironed out.
Whyte's bid remains on course following more talks with the board, including chairman Alastair Johnston, who had originally cast doubts on the Lanarkshire-born businessman's offer following initial discussions.
Whyte had already agreed a deal with the main players in the takeover, majority shareholder Sir David Murray and main creditor Lloyds Banking Group.
Now the Rangers board look set to drop their threat to delay the deal, meaning a deal worth more than £50million could be concluded in the coming days. That could spell good news for Weiss, who is eager to return to the club next season.
Ally McCoist has been promised a significant sum to revamp his playing squad in the summer, with some reports claiming Whyte would inject £10million, twice the amount originally earmarked. And that could help McCoist tie up a deal for the Slovakian, who has previously enjoyed a loan spell with Bolton.
Weiss added in the Rangers News: "I love it in Glasgow and Rangers would be the only club I would want to pick to spend another year with because I've learned a lot since I first came up.
"Playing here is a real honour and I am very proud to have been a part of the squad here in the last few months. I've heard it said a few times since I arrived that once you're a Ranger, you're always a Ranger and that's the case with me."
