RANGERS have extended former Manchester United kid Jordan Thompson's trial spell at Murray Park and are sending youth keeper Liam Kelly out on loan.

Mark Warburton has offered 18-year-old Thompson a second week's trial with the first team squad while Kelly is set to join Cowdenbeath on loan.

The highly-rated 19-year-old shotstopper signed a new deal at Ibrox in February and is viewed as one for the future at Murray Park.

But with Rangers bringing in Wes Foderingham last week, Warburton is sending Kelly out on on loan for the next three months at Central Park.

Meanwhile Thompson will have a further chance to catch the eye this week, having spent the past week in Glasgow.

The midfielder, who is also comfortable playing at left back, has been capped at youth level by Northern Ireland and was named Player of the Tournament at the 2014 Milk Cup in his homeland after scoring and being named man of the match as United lifted the prestigious youth trophy.

With the season now just over two weeks away, time is running out for Ibrox boss Mark Warburton to make new additions.

The Rangers boss is keen to add depth and experience to a squad that lost several players during the summer.

His pursuit of 35-year-old former Derby midfielder John Eustace continues, while 23-year-old former Livingston and Middlesboro winger Andy Halliday, last on the books at Bradford, is also on trial.
