Rangers youngster Aidan Wilson has been loaned out to Edinburgh City.

Club boss James McDonaugh said he was keen to bring in the 20-year-old despite the fact he is still working his way back from an injury.

That is a testament to how highly he rates the talented prospect, who is not in Rangers’ first team plans at present.

He told the League Two side’s official website: “When I heard Wilson was available I thought he would do well for us and add depth to an area of the team that we maybe lack a little competition.

“He will need to do well to break into the team though as we have defended extremely well in the last two matches. Aidan is recovering from injury right now so first we need to get him back to full fitness then it’s up to him to fight for the jersey.”

Wilson is on loan for six months and it could be a month or so before he gets his opportunity.

Having him around at the club lifts standards and could cause his competitors for a first team spot to raise their games.

This is the third loan of Wilson’s career, following stints at Dumbarton and Forfar Athletic.

The Scotland youth international has made two first team appearances for Rangers.
