Latest Rangers Loan Review

RANGERS have a number of players out on loan at present and here’s our review of how those who featured got on over the last week.

Lewis Mayo – Kilmarnock

Lewis started and played 87 minutes as Killie were edged out in the semi-finals of the Viaplay Cup at Hampden Stadium.

The game marked an eighth successive start for the 22-year-old under Derek McInnes, gaining valuable cup experience as Killie reached the national stadium for the first time in over a decade.

The defender is ineligible as Michael Beale takes his Rangers side to Rugby Park in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening, but he will be keen to pick up where he left off when Killie host Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup this weekend.
