Rangers loanees only train twice a week elsewhere in new Ibrox developments

Rangers often utilise the loan market to find game time for their most promising prospects, but many have restricted access to training sessions, according to Joshua Barrie.

The Bears have found plenty of success through their youth system at Ibrox with Ross McCausland a standout success through those means.

However, others often have to depart Rangers on loan in search of regular senior game time, with many of their landing spots at sides that typically occupy a part-time status.

While the prospect of regular playing time is certainly a good thing, other aspects of it aren't quite as positive with a change set to be made.

Rangers set for loan overhaul

Barrie, reporting via Rangers Review (12 February), claims those young Light Blue stars who have departed for part-time outfits will only be training twice a week.

While the exposure to first-team football certainly serves as a benefit, the lack of training limits the amount of progress that can be made by those out on loan with Rangers set to implement a change.

Malky Thomson will begin leading a training camp in Milngavie, which will allow those players to gain additional experience when their temporary club aren't training.

Not only will he initiate the training, but he will also oversee any temporary exits as part of Rangers' new loan manager.

Youth can prevail at Ibrox

While McCausland is the standout when it comes to those who have made the step up to first-team football, Rangers have several other exciting prospects who will be looking to follow in his footsteps.

The new loan management system will only serve as a benefit for those players if they are to depart for lower-league outfits that fit the above criteria.

Players like Nathan Patterson are among the list of stars to have excelled, having started their career at Ibrox and the new changes will only see names added to that.

If faith can start to be put in those young players, Rangers can benefit both on the pitch as well as off of it with the potential financial aspect to consider from future sales and incentives.
