Rangers are bringing Sheyi Ojo to Ibrox for the season

Sheyi Ojo has begun work at Rangers already with BBC Sport reporting he was in Glasgow yesterday.

Rangers are signing Ojo on a season long loan, the sixth loan spell of his career.

The first came back in 2015, when he was just 17-years-old.

The Rangers bound winger was sent to Wigan Athletic, by former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, who was in charge of Liverpool at the time.

Then Wigan boss Malky Mackay told the club website: “Brendan sees him as a Liverpool player of the future and will take him into his squad in the summer.

“I have watched him and was excited by what I saw in terms of his pace, touch and awareness.”

Sheyi Ojo of Liverpool runs during a pre-season friendly match between Bury and Liverpool at Gigg Lane on July 14, 2018 in Bury, England.

Ojo’s loan at Wigan was promising, but his next spell at Wolves was more of a struggle.

Last season Ojo was on loan at Reims in France, which also did not work out well due to a lack of game time.

Ojo needs to spell at Rangers to be a big success if he is to make good on Rodgers’ prediction he will be a Liverpool star of the future.

The Daily Mail report Ojo has been handed a long term contract at Liverpool, but he hasn’t done anything in recent seasons to justify this.

Strong performances at Ibrox this year on loan will put him back on track.
