Assuming the players actually want to go to the Scottish Championship...why did we wait til this late in the day? We could have been doing with a few fresh bodies for the cup semi for a start.

[TheWorthinGer]

F**k me...signings.

Whatever next?!

From Daily Wretched:

"There is a bit of stooshie developing about Rangers and their signing of players on loan from Newcastle United. The SPFL Rules on Temporary Transfers (as they call loans) are typically confusing.

58 (i) states no more than 4 loan players at any one time.

58 (ii) states no more than one loanee who is not an under 21 player at any one time

58(iii) states no more than two players who are not under 21s can be played during a season

58 (iv) states no more than one loanee from a club in the same division

58 (v) states no more than two loanees from a club in a different division

58 )iv) states no more than three loanees from any club.

60 states no more than 5 loanees between 1st July and the following 30th June.

You'll notice though that there is no reference made to cross border signings and, as is always the case, the devil is in the detail. FIFA rules state that there is no limit to the number of loan signings from foreign countries."

I'll assume we are OK to sign these lads if it comes off. Could be MA sweetening us up. Before he eats us.

Re : Gael Bigirimana, Haris Vuckic, Kevin Mbabu and Remie Streete are the players involved.

These are the Wiki summaries of the 4 players mentioned by SCO from the BBC report.

Gaël Bigirimana (born 22 October 1993) is a footballer who plays for Newcastle United as a midfielder.
Born in Burundi, Bigirimana moved to the United Kingdom with his family as a refugee in 2004 and chose to represent England at under-20 level in 2013.

Haris Vučkić (born 21 August 1992) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Newcastle United and the Slovenia national team.

Melingo Kevin Mbabu (born 19 April 1995) is a Swiss footballer who plays for Premier League club Newcastle United as a defender.

Remie Streete (born 2 November 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Newcastle United. He is the son of Floyd Streete.

Another name, this time from SSN :

Curtis Good

Curtis Edward Good (born 23 March 1993) is an Australian footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Newcastle United. He began his career with Melbourne Heart in the A-League before signing for Newcastle in 2012. He has since had loan spells with Bradford City—for whom he appeared in the 2013 Football League Cup Final—and Dundee United. He made his international debut for Australia in 2014 and was in the provisional squad for that year's World Cup, but missed out on selection through injury.

STV reporting we've rejected advances from Hamilton for Dean Shiels. What the actual xxxx? Someone wants to take him off our hands and we say no??

[supercooper]

would be nice to see some fresh faces come in for the run in , at least make hearts work for the title.

Depends how derisory an offer it was.

[Trusevich]

I would have let him go for f*ck all just to save the £7k per week wage.

[El Car]

Probably not derisory enough to match his sub-par performances.

I assume they just want him on a free but it would be worth it from our point of view.

[Larry-AV]

This SSN article names a 6th player, but can a player on loan be loaned out to another club ?

Skysports - Rangers to sign 'four or five' from Newcastle on loan

Facundo Ferreyra

Facundo Ferreyra (born 14 March 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for English club Newcastle United on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk.

[supercooper]

Doubt if he will leave without being paid up his contract. Can't see Hamilton offering him anywhere near 7k.

[El Car]

I don't really see these guys coming in on loan. The way things have gone this season it seems more like the sort of thing that'll turn out to be nothing.
