Just six months after Ibrox’s arrival, a Brazilian move for an out-of-favor player
Jose Cifuentes, a midfielder for Rangers, left the squad to sign a 12-month loan with Cruzeiro in Brazil after Philippe Clement dropped him from the starting lineup.
The 24-year-old, who cost £1 million to sign at Ibrox after arriving from Los Angeles FC, is leaving just six months after becoming the last player signed by Michael Beale before his firing in October.
The Ecuador international made 20 appearances for Rangers this season but managed only six starts and has not featured since being substituted at half-time in the 3-2 Europa League win over Real Betis on December 14.
