Zak Lovelace's Rangers transfer branded 'a backwards step' as fuming Millwall boss Gary Rowett delivers fresh attack

Raging Gary Rowett admits he can't understand Zak Lovelace 's decision to join Rangers and move to their Colts side after leaving Millwall.

Record Sport first reported the 16-year-old was heading to Ibrox having already made his first-team breakthrough down south despite his tender years. The move sparked anger from Lions boss Rowett who took aim at the "outside influences" surrounding the move while the club themselves released a statement citing their "frustrations" at how it panned out.

Millwall were desperate to keep Lovelace and had planned on handing him an increased first-team role next season as he became the second youngest player to represent the club at first-team level. However, he snubbed a new deal and instead has headed to Glasgow, where he will initially go into Gio van Bronckhorst 's B-team in the Lowland League and work his way into the first-team plans.
