Lyndon Dykes would be 'really interested' in a move to Celtic if the opportunity arose.
That's the view of his former manager and teammate Kenny Miller.
The ex-Rangers striker worked with the Scotland forward during his short stint in charge of Livingston in 2018.
The QPR frontman, 28, has played a vital part in Scotland's success under Steve Clarke in recent years since opting to switch international allegiances from Australia.
He will have almost certainly booked his place on the plane for this summer's European Championships in Germany, although, he has endured a tough season at Loftus Road so far this season, with the club deep in relegation bother.
Brendan Rodgers is prioritising the signing of a back-up striker this month with Daizen Maeda and Oh currently away on Asian Cup duty, leaving just Kyogo at the club.
Responding to a caller on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard who floated the idea of Dykes being the man to present a challenge to Kyogo, Miller supported any potential deal.

The pundit said: "I think when you talk plan B, Brendan Rodgers want to play a certain brand of football. They will train it and they will work it - because plan B often means ‘Why don’t you throw the big guy up front?’, but that’s not how they play.
"Lyndon Dykes for instance, he is completely different to Kyogo. He brings a kind of signing that (Giorgos) Giakoumakis provided them with, maybe a more physical option who came into his own - and scored a lot of goals for Celtic as well.
"I think Lyndon - if that was a move that was an opportunity for him - he would be really interested in. To compete with Kyogo."
Dykes has scored just four goals in 23 appearances for QPR this season. His record in total for the club sits at 34 goals in 145 games.
