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 ÂŁ1m.

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.
