Rangers transfer news: Youngster looks likely to be leaving Ibrox this window

Fraser Aird looks likely to be leaving Rangers this window for Vancouver Whitecaps.

It will come as some sadness to disband #FraserAirdLoyal, but after failing to really kick on under Coisty, and being unfancied despite being converted to right-back by Mr Warburton, it looks like he could be bound for the MLS.

This comes to us courtesy of our friend and yours, Shane Nicholson of the Copland Road Organisation:

Aird's probably not good enough to be contributing this season, although losing yet more defensive cover is a bit of a worry. We could probably do with another utility defender in the squad, perhaps on loan, before the window closes. At the moment Dominic Ball seems to be the backup option for all four defensive positions and defensive midfield. God knows what'd happen if two of those players were out at once.

Still, we wish him well, whether it's a loan or a permanent deal.
