Rangers: Done deal as Jay Hogarth seals

Ibrox loan exit in January transfer announcement

Although the 20-year-old goalie hasn’t

made a senior team appearance for

Rangers, he has been included in

matchday squads for European events.

Hogarth will be a member of the team

that plays Peterhead later on Tuesday,

January 9, according to a tweet from

Dumbarton announcing the change.

Even if Hogarth is still in his early career,

having first-team experience away from

Ibrox will help him in the long run.

Joining a League Two squad is a bit of a

step down for the young player, who

made 33 appearances for Alloa in

Scottish League One previous season.

That being said, the goal of this move is

to give Hogarth some playing time before

he returns to Ibrox in the summer.

Like other goalkeepers, he must

eventually usurp an established number

one at Rangers, which is the difficulty he faces.

And the bad news is that Jack Butland

has been arguably the Gers’ best player

this season, or at the very least their best summer signing.

Robby McCrorie and Kieran Wright are

also ahead of him in the pecking order,

so it would not be a surprise to see

another loan move later this year.

Having starred for the B team and

trained regularly with the seniors,

Hogarth’s future is certainly a bright one.

For now, his focus has to be on

impressing at Dumbarton.
