Roofe, 32, has endured a frustrating time of things since leaving the Gers at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The striker was a fans' favourite at Ibrox, but injuries derailed his time in Scottish football.
The prolific frontman was regularly out of action during his final couple of seasons in Glasgow.
After leaving Rangers in May last year, he spent eight months without a club.
In February, his time as a free agent came to an end when he joined Derby on a deal until the end of the season.
Injury, however, would strike again and Roofe was restricted to just three appearances for the Rams.
It was little surprise, therefore, when he was one of the players released by the club upon the conclusion of the season.
But just seven weeks after that decision, Roofe is now BACK at Derby.
The Jamaica international has shared a series of pictures on his Instagram showing him in pre-season training with the club.
However, Roofe has NOT re-joined them, at least not yet.

Local media reports have confirmed the striker isn't under contract and is training with the squad to work on his fitness.
It's been reported that Derby boss John Eustace liked the influence Roofe had in and around the club last season.
Speaking earlier this year, Roofe revealed that he had been training alone in a public park prior to joining Derby.
He did so in order to keep his fitness levels high for when an opportunity came calling.
Roofe said: "The grass wasn't cut, the pitches would be frozen at times.
"There'd be dog poo on the pitch and dogs running on the pitch as well."
