£12m ace reportedly allowed to leave: Celtic must beat English clubs to sign prolific striker on loan – opinion
Scottish Premiership experience
Former Cardiff City striker McCormack has more than 50 career appearances under his belt after spells with both Motherwell and Rangers.
Making 53 in total, McCormack has had a hand in 16 goals during that time, scoring nine and adding another seven in assists.
His record in English football is even more impressive, with 333 Championship games yielding an impressive 120 goals as well as 58 assists.
That kind of form in the final third north of the border would see the attacker thrive should Rodgers look to sign him, which could see McCormack make a late run for the 2018 World Cup squad if Scotland qualify.
