Former Rangers striker Robbie Ure has admitted he feels there is "unfinished business" at Ibrox and says he would seriously consider returning to the club if the opportunity arose in the future.

The 22-year-old left Rangers in 2023 to join Belgian giants Anderlecht before switching to Swedish side Sirius in 2025 after progressing through the Ibrox academy.

Robbie Ure's spell at Ibrox

Ure made his senior debut for Rangers in a Scottish Cup victory over Queen of the South in November 2022, marking the occasion with a goal after coming off the bench in a 3-1 win at Ibrox. He would go on to make two further Scottish Premiership appearances for the club.

Having now established himself in Sweden, the striker has attracted interest from clubs across Europe following an impressive run of form.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Ure reflected on his decision to leave Rangers and admitted it was one of the biggest choices of his career.

"It was a big decision at the time for me, for my career and for my family," he said.

"All I'd ever known was Rangers and Scotland, so it was a tough decision. It was one I felt I had to make if I wanted to keep progressing my career.

"So far, it seems like it's been for the best."

The Scotland Under-21 international also confirmed there is growing interest in his services but insists his focus remains on Sirius.

"There's interest," Ure revealed.

"I think the interest is quite high from bigger leagues and bigger teams as well.

"When the time is right and it's right for all parties, then of course things can start to move.

"It's normal for any player when they have the opportunity to take that next step to a better league and bigger clubs."

Ure open to Rangers return

Despite looking firmly ahead, Ure admitted Rangers will always hold a special place in his career.

Asked whether he felt there was unfinished business at Ibrox, he replied: "Yeah, you could say that.

"Up until I was 19, Rangers was all I ever knew.

"I feel like the opportunity, if it was ever to come in the future, to go back there would be something that I would really think about.

"It would mean a lot to a lot of people.

"So yeah, you could say there could be some unfinished business. If that opportunity comes in the future, it'd be something to consider for sure."

Rangers unlikely to target former prospect

Rangers have strengthened their forward line this summer with the arrival of Lawrence Shankland.

While Ure's comments are likely to resonate with supporters who remember his goalscoring debut against Queen of the South before his move abroad, the club are unlikely to make any move with Yousef Chermiti, Bojan Miovski and Ryan Naderi all also occupying forward roles in Derek McInnes’s squad.
