On Thursday afternoon, Rangers confirmed the temporary departure of Jordan Rossiter.
The 21-year-old has joined English club, Bury, on loan until the end of the season.
The move arrives with just a few hours left in the transfer window, but there has been speculation over a possible transfer for some time.
The Daily Express claimed that Dundee United were to be in the hunt for his services.
Yet, he has chosen to move south of the border.
Bury currently sit third in English League Two, just six points behind top of the table Lincoln City.
Therefore, Rossiter is joining an in form team.

He’s not the first to head to Gigg Lane from Ibrox, either.
Promising young midfielder, Jamie Barjonas, spent the first half of the season with the Shakers.
The question is, is playing in League Two really a sufficient platform to prove his worth to Rangers?
He has been
dogged by injuries in recent years, so, of course, playing time is the most important thing.
Geographically, Bury is also relatively close to his roots, in Liverpool.
Yet, Rossiter is a former England youth international and Reds U19 captain.
One would have thought there were slightly more glamorous options out there.
While the odd Bear raised concerns about the standard in the England’s fourth-tier, in general, the supporters rightly rallied around a young lad hoping to get his career back on track.
