Ex-Hibs and Rangers striker Jason Cummings is back in Scottish football after signing with Dundee

Jason Cummings has returned to Scottish football, signing a 18-month contract with Dundee.

The former Hibs and Rangers striker joins James McPake’s side from League One club Shrewsbury, whom he joined in September 2019. He’ll now join the Dens Park side in their pursuit of promotion back to the Scottish Premiership.

Cummings has enjoyed a somewhat nomadic experience since leaving Easter Road for Nottingham Forest in a seven-figure transfer in the summer of 2017. Despite scoring twice away to Newcastle United in a League Cup game, he was quickly moved out on loan to Rangers in the January transfer window.

After the Ibrox side declined to take up the option to sign the forward, he moved out on loan to Peterborough United before another temporary move with Luton Town.
