Rangers have officially included Brentford’s teenage defender Jayden Meghoma in their Champions League roster ahead of the playoff tie against Club Brugge — www.isagoal.com reports.
Soccernet.ng confirmed that the 19-year-old fullback completed a season-long loan move to Ibrox on August 17 and immediately received clearance through his International Transfer Certificate.
UEFA rules allow clubs to add two fresh players to the playoff list beyond the August 14 deadline, provided homegrown requirements are met, and Rangers seized that opportunity.
Meghoma joined his new teammates for training on Sunday and was again spotted during the final preparations at the Rangers Training Centre on Monday.
The England youth international of Nigerian descent has been handed the number 30 shirt for the season and could make his debut against the Belgian side.
Emmanuel Fernandez, another Nigeria-eligible summer signing, also trained with the squad, boosting the club’s defensive depth.
Meanwhile, questions remain over striker Cyriel Dessers, who was missing from the official training photos released by the club.
Rangers and Club Brugge recently played out a 2-2 friendly at Ibrox.
