Rangers take Bartley on loan
Rangers have announced the signing of 20-year-old Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley as they attempted to wrap up another deal for Blackburn player El Hadji-Diouf.
Bartley will arrive in Glasgow on Wednesday but Rangers completed the paperwork on the deal and announced his signing just over an hour before the transfer window closed.
Rangers were understood to be negotiating over a move for Diouf as the deadline loomed after manager Walter Smith allowed James Beattie to join Blackpool on loan.
The former Bolton and Sunderland player has made 21 appearances this season but Rovers are willing to offload him after signing Argentinian midfielder Mauro Formica.
