Rangers are set to complete the signing of Zak Lovelace from Millwall.

The 16-year-old striker made his Championship debut for the club last year with many clubs showing an interest in him.

Lovelace scored 21 goals in 19 games for Millwall's youth side before being promoted to their first team.

He became their second youngest ever player as he came on as late substitute in a 1–0 win over Coventry City.

Speaking to the club's website after the game, manager Gary Rowat said: "Of course at the end, the little icing on the cake (was) to bring Zak on.

"I could have made it easy, I could have brought a senior player on, but I just felt he deserved it. We have got some young players and I think it is something that we want to do a little bit more."
