Rangers have a long list of players out on loan spells away from Ibrox.

A major overhaul took place at Rangers this summer, both in the dugout and on the pitch.

Danny Rohl's departure and Derek McInnes' arrival sparked the arrival of a largely new Gers starting XI once the window was all said and done.

It also paved the way for many players to exit Govan, with no less than 11 leaving Ibrox on respective loan deals.

Naturally, there has been mixed success with this group of Gers loanees.

So, with the international break in full swing, Ibrox News takes a look at how each of Rangers' 11 loanees are faring with their clubs so far this term.

Numerous Rangers attackers struggling to find form

Starting with perhaps the most high-profile Rangers loan exit this summer, Thelo Aasgaard moved to Anderlecht on a season-long deal.

The Belgian giants have the option to make his move permanent, but currently, that seems unlikely.

Aasgaard has made three appearances in all competitions so far and is yet to register a single goal contribution.

Meanwhile, Danilo is also yet to find his shooting boots with Botafogo, having scored just once in his first nine games in all competitions.

Youngster Lewis Stewart is 11 games without a goal for Scottish Championship side Queen's Park, but has played in all eight of their league games.

Nedim Bajrami hasn't scored in any of his six games for Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Taawoun either, nor has he provided any assists.

So, are Rangers' midfield loanees faring any better?

The real reason why Derek McInnes green-lit Thelo Aasgaard exit at Rangers

Connor Barron doesn't look particularly wanted at Middlesbrough

Connor Barron sealed a late deadline-beating loan move to English Championship side Middlesbrough.

The 24-year-old wasn't fancied by McInnes, and so this presented what appeared to be a very exciting opportunity for him to go and play at a good level.

However, Barron is still yet to make his Middlesbrough debut, and has only featured in one matchday squad against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.

Lyall Cameron is faring better at Dundee United though, with a goal from his first two outings at Tannadice.

Paul Nsio is also turning heads at St Mirren with some top showings, starting all six of his Scottish Premiership appearances and notching a goal to boot.

Young attacking midfielder Alexander Smith has a goal from his first six games with Scottish League One side East Kilbride and is carving out a key role there.

Aiden McCallion is finding things tough with Queen's Park, as he's got zero goal contributions from seven league outings, but does have two League Cup assists to his name.

Finally for the midfielder's, Bailey Rice hasn't found his feet at Kilmarnock, with zero goal contributions from nine games and just two league starts.
