Former Rangers star reflects on ‘big ask’ after signing with club as he makes ‘no regrets’ claim
Jake Hastie will return to Scottish football and has agreed to join League One outfit Hamilton Academical.
Jake Hastie,
a former winger for the Rangers,
had a hard time living up to the anticipation around him when he initially entered Ibrox in the summer of 2019.
