Rangers latest: Loan signing of Arsenal midfielder Jon Toral completed, Rob Kiernan ‘punch’ charge dismissed

RANGERS have signed Spanish midfielder Jon Toral on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old was recalled by the Gunners after a lack of first team football at Granada, and the club hope he will get more of a chance to develop under Mark Warburton.

Toral has previously worked under the Rangers boss during a loan spell at Brentford during the 2014/14 season.

He impressed at Birmingham last season, and spent the first half of this season on loan in La Liga, but struggled for game time and was an unused substitute for Granada as they faced Real Madrid last Saturday.

He joins Bournemouth loanee Emerson Hyndman in arriving at Ibrox during the January window, with defender David Bates also signing a deal at the Glasgow club.

The former Raith Rovers defender had been on a development loan from the Kirkcaldy club since August.

The new signings will have a chance to impress in Sunday’s friendly match against German high-fliers RB Leipzig.

Rangers defender Rob Kiernan has been cleared of violent conduct after an incident in last month’s Scottish Premier League clash with St Johnstone.

The Scottish Football Association dismissed the charge against Kiernan that he punched Saints captain Steven Anderson in the ribs midway through the two sides’ 1-1 draw.

Last week Rangers rejected a prospective two-match ban for Kiernan in favour of a hearing in Glasgow on Thursday which was also attended by Gers boss Mark Warburton.

Kiernan endured a miserable night in Perth as he was at fault for the home side’s equaliser moments before the incident, which was missed by the referee on the night.

Anderson had insisted afterwards: “It was a corner and he (Kiernan) caught me in the ribs. (Team-mate) Brian Easton saw it as well. It was a clear punch.”
