Jake Hastie returns to Motherwell as Rangers winger agrees fresh loan move

Rangers winger Jake Hastie has returned to former club Motherwell on-loan.

The 21-year-old will spend the 2020/21 season back at Fir Park in a bid for further first-team football.

Hastie moved to Ibrox from Well in May 2019 but has found opportunities limited under Steven Gerrard.

He was farmed out to Rotherham United for the first half of last season before heading back to Rangers in January.

Hastie insists he's thrilled to be back in Lanarkshire.

He said: "“I’m absolutely delighted to be back.

“I’ve been with Motherwell since I was nine years old. A year away has helped me grow even more as a player, but it’s also made me appreciate what the club does for me to help me develop.

“I’m fit and ready to go. I want to pick up where we left off just over a year ago and make an impact on the team scoring goals.”

Hastie emerged through Motherwell's highly-regarded youth academy alongside the likes of David Turnbull and James Scott.

He will now have the opportunity to taste Europa League action, with Stephen Robinson's side set to take their place in the qualifiers.

Ibrox sporting director Ross Wilson insists getting minutes in the tank is vital for Hastie at this stage of his career.

He said: “Jake needs to keep playing first team football and continue his development. We wanted that learning to come in the Scottish Premiership this season.

“Our discussions with Motherwell have been positive and we share the same goal to make this loan experience a strong one.”
