WALTER SMITH'S final act as Rangers boss will be to try and bring Kyle Bartley back from Arsenal.

 

SunSport can reveal Smith has pledged to successor Ally McCoist he'll make a call to Gunners manager Arsene Wenger.

 

And McCoist hopes that will lead to stopper Bartley returning north on a season-long loan.

 

The 19-year-old proved a big hit during his nine games for Gers before cruelly being struck down with a medial ligament injury in the final moments of the home Europa League tie against PSV Eindhoven.

 

It came just three days before the League Cup final triumph over Celtic and ended his season.

 

Bartley, who would be interested in a second spell at Ibrox, returned to Arsenal to begin his rehab and has been told he should recover in time for pre-season training.

 

Gers first-team coach Kenny McDowall, who will step up as Ally McCoist's No2 at the club, revealed: "We haven't spoken to Arsenal yet.

 

"Walter, though, is going to speak to Arsene Wenger at some point and ask the question.

 

"We'd love to have the big fella back and it would only be for another loan.

 

"It's no secret the lad came up here and did well and enjoyed himself.

 

"Kyle's a top player and fitted in perfectly here.

 

"But it would have to be that Arsene was agreeable and felt it was good for Kyle to return to us.

 

"I wouldn't see Arsenal wanting to sell him, so that's why it'd be a loan."
