Rangers midfielder Bailey Rice is being eyed for a loan switch in the Scottish Premiership.

The teenager has agreed a new deal to remain at Ibrox and commit his future to the club.

It's expected the fresh terms will be finalised in the coming days with Rice staying in Glasgow amid links to Schalke, Ajax and clubs in England.

However, Rangers could allow the midfielder to leave on loan this summer as he looks for regular game time after limited minutes last season. He played just on first-team match, against Alloa, for Rangers last term.

According to The Rangers Review, Kilmarnock are keen to land the midfielder on a loan agreement.

The Ayrshire club had Findlay Curtis on loan at Rugby Park last season. The winger is now with Scotland at the World Cup after a stunning spell on loan last season.

It's understood Rangers are open to the possibility of a loan move for Rice after he extends his stay in Glasgow. It would be hoped that working under Neil McCann and Billy Dodds may help Rice develop and return to Rangers to compete for a spot in the first team.
