According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers midfielder Jamie Barjonas is a target for both Mansfield Town and Macclesfield Town.

The Gers are likely to trim their squad ahead of the transfer deadline, and getting young fringe players out on loan for first-team experience has to be a target.

Jake Hastie could head off to League One, and young midfielder Barjonas could follow him to England, but instead heading off to League Two.

It’s claimed that Mansfield Town and Macclesfield Town want to take Barjonas on loan, with the two sides fighting to take him on loan before Monday’s deadline.

Barjonas, 20, has come up through the Rangers youth setup, and made his debut for the club under Mark Warburton but hasn’t featured since December 2017.

The midfielder spent the first half of last season on loan at Bury, and the second with Raith Rovers as he looked to gain first-team experience.

Mansfield may well be favourites, as they claimed earlier this summer that they now have a link with Rangers having played a friendly over the summer.

Sending a youngster like Barjonas to Mansfield makes perfect sense, and hopefully Rangers can reap the benefits of this new relationship with the League Two side.
