Martin to nest with Rangers

Scottish UEFA Cup contenders Rangers FC have signed winger Lee Martin on loan from Manchester United FC until the end of 2007 after watching him in a friendly game.

Friendly success
The 19-year-old Martin, who spent last term on loan in Belgium with R. Antwerp FC, caught the eye of Rangers manager Paul Le Guen during United's 3-0 friendly defeat of Celtic FC in Glasgow and the deal was quickly tied up. "I'm delighted to come to a club such as Rangers," said Martin. "It's unbelievable and I have high expectations during my loan period. The whole reason for me coming here is to improve as a player on and off the pitch."
