Scotland Under-21 midfielder Alex Lowry has been sold by Rangers to Wycombe Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old had come through the youth ranks at Ibrox and there were high hopes that he would become a first-team regular after he scored when making his first-team debut in the Scottish Cup against Stirling Albion in January 2022.

Lowry started the following Scottish Premiership game against Livingston, but he has since only made 12 more appearances, three of them starts, and has most recently been playing for the B team.

He was due to be out of contract with Rangers this summer and Wycombe have given no indication on their website how long his deal with the side sitting second in League One will last.

However, Wycombe say they are "thrilled" to secure the "highly-rated midfielder", pointing out that he has scored 14 times in 19 games for Rangers B and played 17 times on loan to Scottish Premiership rivals Heart of Midlothian last season.

Chief football officer Dan Rice said: "Alex is someone we've identified as a really talented prospect for us and he comes with good experience in both youth and senior football in Scotland.

"As a midfielder, he's full of energy and creativity and suits the way we play - and we're really pleased to bring him into the squad.

"We're working around the clock this transfer window to make sure we can continue to make progress and give us every chance of achieving success - and bringing Alex to Wycombe Wanderers is another really positive step forward."
