Lee Martin is already a favourite at Rangers having helped United beat Celtic 3-0 in pre-season, but now he has the chance to enhance his reputation after signing for the Gers on loan.
Rangers boss Paul Le Guen admitted he liked United’s 19-year-old midfielder after watching the youngster run riot at Parkhead two weeks ago. Now, after capturing his target, the delighted former Lyon coach admits that he may well figure in this weekend’s SPL clash with Dunfermline.
"I am excited about this young player and I think he could be a good addition to the squad,” said Le Guen, whose side are unbeaten after two games.
"I was impressed with Lee when I watched him play for Manchester United against Celtic recently and I have spoken about him many times with Alex Ferguson – he confirmed to me that he is a good player.
"I think it could be good for all parties - the player, Manchester United and Rangers - because he will be able to improve here so it's good for everyone.
"He could be involved at Dunfermline on Sunday, why not? I am happy that he is fit because he has played in quite a few matches in pre-season."
Sir Alex is a big admirer of Martin and is keen to see how he handles first team football in such a pressurised environment. After the Celtic victory Ferguson sang the youngster’s praises and admitted that a club like Rangers would be a perfect move for him.
