The centre-back has returned from a cruciate ligament rupture which saw him miss the entirety of last season.

He has featured for the club’s Colt side this campaign but Rangers are keen for him to play first-team football.

The Scottish champions have a recall option in January.

“Everyone at Rangers wishes Niko well for his loan spell as he works his way back following a difficult year on the sidelines,” the club said.
