Rangers striker Juan Alegria heads out on loan as he links up with Falkirk

Rangers striker heads out on loan and links up with Scottish side

RANGERS striker Juan Alegria has linked up with Falkirk on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old Colombian frontman moved to Ibrox last year following a spell with Finnish team Honka.

Alegria will not be available for Falkirk's Premier Sports Cup match against Bonnyrigg Rose tonight.

Falkirk manager John McGlynn said: “We are delighted to welcome Juan to the football club.

"He’s a player we have been after for some time. We witnessed him playing for Partick Thistle last season and he’s a young, hungry, and hardworking striker who I am sure will kick on.

“He fits the profile of what we are looking for look and we look forward to working with him this season as he looks to develop himself further.”

The striker will wear The Bairns’ number nine shirt for the season.
