Really disappointed with this news, thought he was coming to sign for the left! City don't want to loan him to a Premiership rival so he signs for Skint FC instead. The thought of being pumped in the Champions League must have been too great!
Rangers last night beat Old Firm rivals Celtic to secure the signature of Manchester City winger Vladimir Weiss on a season long loan deal.
The 20 year old Slovakian international who was wanted by the Hoops to replace Aiden McGeady was also on the radar of a host of other clubs including Newcastle, Bolton and Stuttgart .
But Rangers have persuaded the World Cup star who will arrive at Murray Park today and could face Hibs at Easter Road on Sunday to move to Ibrox with the lure of the Champions League and regular first team football in the SPL.
Manager Roberto Mancini sanctioned the temporary deal yesterday preferring the player was farmed out to a club outwith the Premiership and to a team involved in top level European football ahead of recalling Weiss into his first team squad next term.
City are demanding a hefty one off loan fee as well as a fair whack of the players' substantial wages being paid and that scared off the Bundesliga club allowing Rangers to seal the move later today .
The attacking wide man so long saught by Rangers caught the eye of boss Walter Smith during the World Cup with chief executive Martin Bain making inquiries about the player last month before stepping up interest earlier this week.
