Rangers manager Mark Warburton has admitted he could be looking for loans in January.

Rangers manager Mark Warburton has told STV he could enter the loan market in January after Niko Kranjcar was ruled out for the next sixth months.

The attacking midfielder has contributed three goals and three assists so far and his absence is sure to be felt at Ibrox.

However, the following three names – who just might be available – could help to fill the void left by the Croatian.

Lloyd Isgrove

Groomed by Southampton, Isgrove, who can play on either flank as well as through the middle, helped Barnsley to promotion last season, playing alongside reported Rangers target Conor Hourihane. It is likely then, that Warbs will be familiar with the 23-year-old Welshman, whose contract expires at the end of the current campaign.

Kieran Dowell

A natural number 10, Dowell earned rave reviews for Everton’s Under-21s last season, culminating in his Premier League debut at the back end of the campaign. The England Under-20 international is a strong shooter from distance – much like Rangers’ Kranjcar you might say.

Jeff Reine-Adelaide

Rangers took good care of Arsenal’s Gedion Zelalem last season, which could convince Arsene Wenger to lend them another young prospect in Reine-Adelaide. Like Isgrove, the imposing 18-year-old is a skillful operator who can play out wide or through the middle.
