Rangers boss Mark Warburton is reportedly working on two loan deals.
According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers manager Mark Warburton has spent the week in London in a bid to tie up loan deals for two potential signings.
The Gers lost 2-1 to Celtic last time out, and they now have a break in the schedule as their next game comes on the 21st of January against Motherwell.

With more than two weeks until their next game, manager Warburton can focus on the transfer window, with Rangers in the market for new additions.
Playmaker Niko Kranjcar is out until the end of the season with a serious knee injury, whilst Warburton may look for more midfield additions given that Joey Barton was released after just eight games, and both Matt Crooks and Jordan Rossiter have endured injury problems this term.

Add in that striker Joe Garner could face a lengthy lay-off with a shoulder injury, and Warburton may need three new faces during this month’s transfer window – and he’s been using the break to make moves in the market.
The Scottish Sun report that Warburton has been in London this week in an attempt to secure two new signings in loan deals to aid his squad for the second half of the season.
Putting two and two together, one of those targets could be Arsenal midfielder Jon Toral, given that the Daily Record report that the Spanish playmaker is Warburton’s top target, having worked together at Brentford.
It’s unclear who the other club may be, but Warburton does have good contacts with clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham having taken Gedion Zelalem, Dominic Ball and Nathan Oduwa on loan last season, and we could see another Premier League youngster targeted by the Rangers manager.
