Gareth Bale explains why Aaron Ramsey's Rangers loan is 'great news' for Wales

Aaron Ramsey's loan move to Rangers has the seal of approval from his Wales team-mate Gareth Bale.

The Real Madrid winger confirmed Ramsey is happy and thriving at Ibrox, acknowledging the Light Blues' status as a "big club", which can only help his international career.

The 31-year-old had found game time hard to come by at Juventus, but has returned from injury recently to prove an influential player in Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Rangers side.

He scored the equaliser against Dundee at the weekend, before Connor Goldson grabbed a late winner for the Gers.

Bale reckons Ramsey's move has only helped as they prepare to face Austria in their World Cup play-off semi-final.

"Aaron always keeps himself in good shape regardless," he said.

"But he’s obviously happy he’s playing some more minutes than he was at Juventus, which is great news for us.

"He’s said he’s enjoying it at Rangers and it’s a big club.

"Enjoying your football is the most important thing because if you’re happy in what you’re doing you’re going to play better.

"Hopefully he can put in a good performance in this game."
