Neil Warnock has been seen at Ibrox this afternoon, showing his support for Rangers.
The 75-year-old veteran manager, who had a brief and tumultuous 32-day tenure at Aberdeen, seems to have rekindled his interest in the Scottish Premiership.
After stepping down from his role at Pittodrie in March minutes after guiding his team to the Scottish Cup semi-finals, Warnock left Peter Leven to navigate the challenges before Jimmy Thelin took over and has since guided the Dons to 12 straight victories.
However, his recent appearance among the Rangers faithful ahead of their league match against Hibernian signals that he remains engaged with Scottish football.
Warnock has never hidden his admiration for the Light Blues.
Back in 2020, he famously declared himself a "Rangers guy", a statement that resonated well with the club's fans.
He also donned a blue tie when Aberdeen visited Ibrox and detailed how he and his pals would meet up in the Dunoon Rangers Supporters Club on occasion.

He later expressed a desire to compete against both Rangers and Celtic, emphasising his ambition to take on Scotland's top clubs.
Prior to his short stint at Aberdeen, he mentioned a preference for managing Heart of Midlothian or Hibernian to challenge the giants of Glasgow.
As Rangers prepare for the crucial match - which is the first of three consecutive matches at Ibrox, Warnock's presence in the famous stadium adds an intriguing layer to the narrative, reminding fans of his lasting connection to the club and the league.
