Jayden Meghoma to Rangers loan transfer agreed as details of Jefte deal revealed
A replacement for the Brazilian has already been found with the Brentford man heading north Rangers have agreed a loan deal for Brentford's Jayden Meghoma. The England youth international is travelling north to complete his move. The Light Blues made their move for the 19-year-old, as they are set to sell Jefte to Brazilian club Palmeiras. The deal is expected to be confirmed in the next 24 to 48 hours and will allow Rangers to name him as a wildcard signing for their Champions League play-off with Club Brugge. Sporting director Kevin Thelwell had Meghoma high on his left-back options. Brentford have high hopes for Meghoma, who they signed from Southampton last year. The Bees sent him on-loan to Preston North End and believe a move to the Scottish Premiership, where he will get European exposure is the next move. The left-back has been a problem position for Russell Martin having to switch the likes of Max Aarons over to the opposite side. Rangers are set to sell Jefte for a £6million fee with another six figures in add-ons to Palmeiras. The move will see Rangers make a ten-fold profit on the fee they paid to get him last summer to buyout APOEL's option, where he had been on loan from Fluminese. It sees Rangers make major money on a player brought to the club by former technical director Nils Koppen. The Ibrox side also have a 17.5% sell-on as part of the Jefte deal.

Rodgers on Kenny's 'honest' Celtic performance vs Falkirk
The Irish striker was chosen to start while Adam Idah was benched. Kenny played until the 62nd minute before being replaced by Shin Yamada. In his post-match press conference, Rodgers was asked about Kenny's part in Celtic's 4-1 win. He said: "I think he worked very hard. Read more: "He's an honest boy who gives his all in the game, and that's what the team's about. "[He] didn't have so many chances, a couple of good wee runs, didn't quite drop to him in the box, but I thought he worked very hard and then created the chance then for Shin Yamada to come on." Kenny did not manage to score but was handed a new contract by Celtic last week, keeping him at the club until at least the summer of 2029. The Scottish Premiership champions have also recently secured Dane Murray with a new deal, lasting until 2028. The central defender scored in the win over Falkirk. Rodgers said after the match: "I think his ceiling's so high. "There are areas of the game that he needs to clearly, obviously work on. "But he's 6'4'', he's quick, he can take the ball. "He has a comfort with the ball which aligns with top players and he just, again, concentration is something that's key for defenders. "But I really like him and that's hence the reason we've tied him down."
