Rangers news as Greig Allen transfer update emerges despite window closing

Rangers youth defender Grieg Allen has completed a loan move to join Scottish League Two side Bonnyrigg Rose, the club have confirmed.

 

The Ibrox outfit announced on 30 September, via their official website, that the 19-year-old has left until the end of the season.

The centre-back moved to Ibrox back in 2021 from Hearts and will now be hoping to gain first-team experience.

 

Rangers make the right decision to loan out Grieg Allen to Bonnyrigg Rose

Allen’s loan move to Bonnyrigg is pivotal for his development because it offers him the opportunity to experience first-team football in a competitive environment, which is fundamentally different from playing in B Team matches.

 

In Scottish League Two, the teenager will be exposed to the tactical nuances and pressures of senior football, which are often not replicated at the youth or reserve levels.

This real-game experience is invaluable for young defenders like Allen, as it accelerates their learning curve, helping them adapt to the speed and intensity of professional matches.

 

Moreover, he’ll likely play regularly at Bonnyrigg Rose, which is crucial for his growth as a player.

This move also ensures that Rangers can closely monitor his progress through regular updates from the Bonnyrigg management, or potentially a loan manager, providing firsthand feedback on his performances.

If he performs exceptionally, Philippe Clement may also request reports be sent to him to track his progress.
