Hopefully it'll be a club willing to nurture a loan player like a Bolton.

 

If he can get the minutes then sound, harsh lines for the boy when the club re-sign a 35 year old in your position.

Surely that would only be sanctioned if we were getting at least one in.

 

We're trying to get rid of Davies as well so would leave us very short

If King is leaving, that would suggest we have someone else coming in at CB.

 

I think its a good move for King, and hope there is a recall clause of some form in there.

 

Players like King and Lowry need the game time, and its clear they arent going to be starters at Ibrox for the moment.

Absolutely the best move for King. The alternative is the prospect of never kicking a ball in anger this season.

[Bluedell 5,329]

King still has to do a bit of improving until he's ready for our first team. Hopefully he'll go somewhere that he can get a regular start.

Good luck to Leon. I don't think a loan move has ever worked out for any of our young lads (McGregor may be the only success story in the last 20 years) it's just a slow process of them leaving Rangers.

Any move where he can play every week will be good for him.

It can work in terms of increasing his value. If he can play a successful season in English League 1 for example that makes him more sellable for the club, particularly if the feeling is he's not going to make our first team. The same applies with Lowry. If he has a decent season with Hearts, we might still decide to sell him next summer, but he's got more value to us with 30 odd SPFL first team games under his belt. I think we also have a duty of care with young players. It's a short career, if they're not good enough for our first team then this at least allows them to begin building a career elsewhere. 

Lewis Mayo is a recent example. His loan spells allowed him to gain experience and he's now a regular with Killie. That's a decent standard for a player of his age, if he can keep progressing then a move to a bigger SPFL club or even an English Championship club is a possibility, I'd hope we have a sell-on percentage or similar in place with Kilmarnock.

Snippets from "Rangers News"

 

The man behind leading Rangers fan media partners Four Lads Had a Dream claims the club have ruled out a move for Harry Souttar.

Stevie Clifford has links to the Ibrox side and is one of the most respected and prominent members of the club’s fan media.

Speaking on the Rangers Review, Clifford was providing a transfer update amid claims from Michael Beale that the Gers may look to add one more player.

 

However, with reports mentioning Harry Souttar over the last 24 hours, the Leicester defender is “100%” not coming to Rangers.

“What we have done is we’ve spoken to the club on Harry Souttar,” said Stevie Clifford (RR Daily Briefing: 28/08 approx: 44:20)

“Harry Souttar according to Rangers is 100% not coming to the club.

“That is not happening.

“It wasn’t elaborated on whether or not we are interested or we’ve tried and it’s just not happening.

“What the club say is 100%, that’s not happening.

“I can tell you what the club says with regards to the likes of Harry Souttar. There was a lot of noise last week that it was definitely happening.”

 

Four Lads Had a Dream on Harry Souttar, Jesse Lingard and Eden Hazard

Also touching on some of the other names doing the rounds – including ex-Man United attacker Jesse Lingard and ex-Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard – the Four Lads Had a Dream founder said:

“When we asked about some of the other names – Jesse Lingard, Eden Hazard, the wild names that have been doing the lines – that was more or less laughed off.”

However, and only giving his opinion on the situation, Stevie Clifford does believe that Rangers will look to add a winger before the window shuts.

Suggesting that the club have learned from the stramash of last season’s Champions League qualification, it’s a signing which won’t depend on the outcome of Wednesday night.
