Rangers have completed the season-long loan signing of Liverpool youngster Ovie Ejaria, who has also extended his Reds contract.

The 20-year-old joins Liverpool legend Steve Gerrard in his new role as Gers manager.

Ejaria is a product of the Liverpool youth academy, where Gerrard was a coach before moving to Ibrox, and he made eight first-team appearances during the 2016-17 season, including five starts in the FA and League Cups.
