Last week it emerged that Turkish side Rizespor had stuck a deal with Rangers for an initial loan move, with a £2m option to buy the player in the summer.

However, it’s understood Cifuentes didn’t fancy the move to Turkey.

Now, according to Alan Nixon of The Sun, the 24-year-old can speak with Cruzeiro, a team in the Brazilian Serie A, as the Rangers have given him permission to do so.

Before joining the MLS, Cifuentes played in his own country of South America in 2020 at Universidad Católica.

Neil McCann, meanwhile, expressed to Charlie Mulgrew his disapproval of Corrie Ndaba’s red card for Kilmarnock on Saturday, calling it “appalled.”

The left-back was given his marching orders by Grant Irvine after a VAR check convinced the referee to upgrade the yellow card initially flashed in the way of the on-loan Ipswich man.

The 24-year-old clearly won the ball with his forceful attack on Jair Tavares of Hibernian, but it was evident to Irvine and VAR that his follow-through called for a red card.

Derek McInnes, the manager of Killie, expressed his emotions over the matter after the game, stating that the choice altered the outcome of the match, allowing Hibs to draw 2-2 at Rugby Park.

Additionally, the controversial verdict on BBC Sportscene caused disagreement between the former Rangers and Celtic punditry combo.
