Rangers youngster Jordan Houston has left the club on loan.

Promising Rangers youngster Jordan Houston has left the club on loan until the end of the season.

Houston has joined Scottish League One side Airdrieonians, the club confirmed on their official website.

The 19-year-old made his debut for Rangers in the Scottish Cup last month against Cowdenbeath.

He also featured in their January friendly against Helsinki.

Despite his temporary Rangers exit, Houston is perfectly happy.

He is looking forward to the prospect of getting more first team football under his belt.

He said: “I’m delighted to come here on loan to get some first-team experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity and I’m looking forward to getting started.

“Personally I’m hoping to play as many games as I can, but it’s also important to help the team to put a run together and move up the table.”

Houston is at the stage where under-20 football is not enough for him, and if Rangers were not so well off at right-back, then he would be getting a chance.

This is a temporary fix to his situation, and allows Rangers to more closely assess how ready he will be to challenge next season.
