Rangers midfielder Jose Cifuentes has joined Brazilian side Cruzeiro on loan.

The Ecuadorian departs Ibrox after just six months, having signed in August from LAFC for over £1m.

He made 20 appearances for the Gers, helping them win the League Cup in December.

The 24-year-old has now been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Philippe Clement.

Cifuentes had been close to a move to Turkish side Rizespor, but preferred a transfer back to South America.

He is currently set to return to Scotland in twelve months time.
