Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers look set to loan out Jordan Rossiter.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has revealed to The Glasgow Evening Times that he is set to loan out Jordan Rossiter because he can’t promise him regular football.
Despite being consistently fit for the first time in nearly three years, the 21-year-old midfielder has only managed 65 minutes of first-team football for Rangers since October.
Ryan Jack has established himself as a massive player for Gerrard, who has also been playing young Ross McCrorie in Rossiter’s position.

And Gerrard admits that a short-term loan is the best thing for all parties.
“I certainly feel for him. I don’t think the kid would want me to feel sorry for him. He is not that type of player. He just wants to play, he loves playing,” he told The Evening Times.
“When I asked him what he is looking for, he said he wanted to start consistently and I couldn’t promise it.
“I think Mark Allen and myself have shown him as much respect as we can to try and help him get what he wants.”
Rossiter is a massive talent and if he can get five months of regular Premiership football under his belt at a different club then he could return to Auchenhowie a totally different player.
He has made 10 Premiership appearances for the club since joining.
