Rangers to strike Loan Cooperation Agreements with three different clubs

Rangers are about to confirm Loan Cooperation Agreements with three different clubs.

The SFA introduced the new initiative this summer, allowing clubs to send up to five players on loan to a single outfit in every lower-league Scottish division.

The players have to be eligible to play for Scotland and can still turn out for their parent club's youth sides during their loan to a lower league club.

It had previously been reported that Rangers would strike an agreement with Raith Rovers and the Kirkcaldy side are set to be the Championship partner of the Ibrox men.

But they are set to take full advantage of the new rule by striking agreements with Alloa in League One and Stirling Albion in League Two as well, reports the Rangers Review.

A Scottish FA statement last month read: “The Cooperation System was voted through by clubs following recommendations by the Scottish FA's Transition Report.

“The new system provides greater flexibility to the previous domestic loan quotas by enabling players in the key ‘transition phase’ of 16-21, who are eligible to represent the Scotland national teams, to join a lower-league club but be able to move between the parent and cooperation club throughout the season to increase playing time.”
