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."
