As long as the loan window is open, Rangers may see a member of the first team leave the team.
The club’s ins and outs will be decided by Barry Ferguson, who took over as manager from Philippe Clement at the end of the current campaign.
Ferguson is only entering on an interim basis, and no decision has been made on the next permanent manager as of yet.
It looks like Leon King will be joining Queen’s Park.
On February 28, the Daily Record revealed that Queen’s Park had attempted to sign Leon King on loan.
Earlier this season, the Scottish Championship team made news when they eliminated the Gers from the Scottish FA Cup.
Ferguson approved the deal, and it is believed that the Gers are willing to let King leave until the end of the season.
Since Robin Propper, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, and Clinton Nsiala are higher up the hierarchy than him, the interim manager is willing to let him go temporarily.
Under Clement, the youthful Scottish defender made a few first-team outings this season and has Champions League experience.
At Ibrox, Rafael Fernandes must now have an opportunity to establish his value.
King’s impending loan move to Queen’s Park gives Rafael Fernandes a crucial opportunity to establish himself at Ibrox.
The defensive hierarchy changes as King is expected to go till the end of the season with Ferguson’s consent.
After joining on loan from Lille in January, Fernandes has made only three appearances, including one start in the Scottish Cup defeat to Queen’s Park.
Despite defensive inconsistencies, such as Nsiala’s problems and Tavernier’s sporadic central shifts, Clement was reluctant to deploy Fernandes, which kept him out.
Ferguson is now prepared to make a change, and Fernandes‘ quickness and potential as a ball-playing center-back should help the Gers overcome their backline weaknesses.
The Portuguese defender is thrust into the public eye by this move, which presents an opportunity to guarantee a long-term Ibrox future before his loan is up.
