Scottish champions sign Arsenal youngster on loan

Scottish champions Rangers have bolstered their ranks with the loan capture of Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley. The 20-year-old, who can play centre back or right back, has moved to Ibrox until the end of the season. The youngster has featured just once for Arsene Wenger's side - a UEFA Champions League clash with Olympiakos in 2009 - after joining the Gunners in 2007. He went out on loan to Sheffield United last term and returned to Bramall Lane this season to gain more experience. Meanwhile, Rangers have confirmed that Andrius Velicka has left the club. The Lithuanian was on loan at Aberdeen until the end of the season but was not wanted by Dons manager Craig Brown and is expected to pursue a move to Swiss side St Gallen.
