The has been contact between the two clubs regarding the 26-year-old, who was left out of Rangers’ Europa League squad to face Progres Niederkorn this Thursday.

St Johnstone enquired as to the possibility of bringing the player back to McDiarmid Park, and are now waiting on an answer from Rangers.

Wright told STV: “Michael is one player that we’ve enquired about but in that position there’s two or three other enquiries we’ve got in at the minute.

“Michael’s situation is one that’s very much in Rangers’ hands. It’s not in any other club’s hands.It’s up to what Rangers want to do with him.

“I was sad to see him go and, as I say, we have spoken to Rangers about him, about the possibility but that’s out with my control. At the minute the ball’s in Rangers’ court.”

O’Halloran still has three years left on the contract he signed when making the £500,000 switch from St Johnstone to Ibrox in January 2016.
