Millwall address Zak Lovelace to Rangers transfer 'frustrations' in send off to academy wonderkid

Millwall say they are "saddened and disappointed" by Zak Lovelace 's decision to join Rangers on a free transfer. But the Championship club say they hold no grudges against the 16-year-old - despite their "frustrations."

Record Sport first broke the news that teenage talent Lovelace was heading to Ibrox and the news was confirmed tonight. He pens a long-term deal and will go into the Rangers B-team, with a view to breaking into Gio van Bronckhorst 's side in the months and years ahead.

Lovelace's exit appears to have put Millwall's nose out of joint. Earlier today, boss Gary Rowett vented at the "driving forces" behind the deal and revealed the club were desperate for him to stay at The Den. And the club have echoed their manager's stance in a strong statement released in the minutes after the deal was confirmed, stating their "regret" at the way his move has played out.
