Rangers have finally got some good news as they sign James Penrice on a season-long loan with an option to buy next summer. The 27-year-old left-back will bring his experience and nous to Ibrox, having already played for Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. With Tuur Rommens picking up an injury that will keep him out for more than a month, the Light Blues were in desperate need of cover. Penrice will surely mean that the Scottish manager can stick to his preferred 4-4-2 formation in the upcoming matches rather than rely on a system with three centre-backs.

Why it matters for Rangers
With Tuur Rommens picking up an injury that will keep him out for more than a month, the Light Blues were in desperate need of cover. Penrice will surely mean that the Scottish manager can stick to his preferred 4-4-2 formation in the upcoming matches rather than rely on a system with three centre-backs.
What comes next?
Rangers' move for Penrice seems to have been a long time in the making, with the left-back on their radar in January as well. Last summer, McInnes couldn't fully work with the defender at Hearts after he moved to Greece. The left-back's arrival will surely mean that the Scottish manager can stick to his preferred 4-4-2 formation in the upcoming matches rather than rely on a system with three centre-backs.
