In a surprising turn of events, Mumbai City FC’s forward, Greg Stewart, is poised to make a return to his former Scottish club, Rangers, after ‘rip up’ his contract with the Indian Super League (ISL) side. The 33-year-old Scottish player initially ventured into the Indian football scene in the 2021-22 season, leaving an indelible mark during his tenure in the subcontinent.
Stewart’s debut season in the ISL showcased his goal-scoring prowess and playmaking abilities. With a remarkable tally of 10 goals and 10 assists in just 21 games, he quickly became a standout performer. This stellar performance earned him a move to Mumbai City FC for the following season, where he continued to shine.

The 2022-23 season saw Stewart elevate his game further, contributing significantly with 14 goals and 12 assists, solidifying his status as a key player for Mumbai City FC. However, as the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end,” Stewart’s impact in the ongoing season hasn’t matched the heights of his previous campaigns. With 3 goals and 6 assists, his performance this season has been relatively subdued compared to the heights he reached in his initial seasons in the ISL.
Despite the dip in form this season, Stewart’s overall contribution to Mumbai City FC has been commendable, and his two and a half seasons in the ISL have left a lasting impression on the league and its fans.
Now, the Scottish forward is set to return to familiar territory – Rangers FC in the Scottish Premiership, the top-tier football league in Scotland. Stewart’s decision to make this move underscores the allure of returning to his roots and competing in the esteemed footballing landscape of Scotland.
