Welsh cap set for Ibrox loan

Cardiff City’s Declan John was at Rangers’ training centre at Auchenhowie last night and is close to completing a loan move to the Ibrox club.

The left-sided Welsh international is primarily a full-back but can also play in midfield. John, 22, has dropped down the pecking order at Cardiff after bursting on to the scene as a promising teenager in the Premier League.

He has been capped twice by Wales and has played 42 league matches for Cardiff, 20 of them in the top flight in season 2013-14.
