Rangers loanee receives green light to make debut as work permit issues clear

The newspaper announced on Friday, February 23, on page 50 of its print edition that the Ecuadorian international’s work permit issue had been resolved, allowing him to play on Sunday, February 25, against fellow Brazilian team Pouso Allegre. After facing some challenges during his first few months with the Gers at Ibrox, the 24-year-old midfielder has decided to go on loan to the South American team.

Jose Cifuentes likely to never play for Rangers again

Since he didn’t leave the LAFC after joining the Rangers last summer, it’s very likely that Cifuentes won’t play for the team again. Just months before the midfielder’s contract with the MLS team was about to end, the Gers threw caution to the wind and paid a whopping £1.2 million to capture his talents.

However, Philippe Clement never really succeeded in securing a regular spot in the team after joining at Ibrox in October. This resulted in his short-term relocation to Cruzeiro, where he will now try to return to his peak performance following the resolution of his work permit concerns.

Later on, the Light Blues will likely be hoping that he has a successful loan stint with the Brazilian team, which will guarantee his permanent departure from Ibrox.
