Cedric Itten returned to Ibrox following an unsuccessful loan period at Greuther Fürth in the Bundesliga but the Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst thinks he will add something else to the attack.

"When I came in I also assessed the players who we had on loan so for me when you go on loan it has to be beneficial for both player and their development but also the club," van Bronckhorst said.

"For me it was very obvious when Cedric wasn't playing a lot in Germany I think I'd rather have him with me in this squad instead of him being in Germany without playing.

"We had a Zoom meeting with him and he was very open in the discussions and felt the same way so I'm happy he's back now.

"He gives me ore options up front, he's a different type of player and sometimes you need a striker with his qualities.

"We're more flexible with the type of players we have."
