Glasgow Rangers have reportedly now told Josh McPake that he can leave in the summer.
The Lowdown: Loan after loan
McPake has been sent out on loan no fewer than five times by the Teddy Bears in his career so far, most recently to Tranmere Rovers back in the January transfer window.

He has only managed to make one senior appearance for the club, and so his long-term future under Giovanni van Bronckhorst is uncertain after a nomadic stint in Glasgow.
The Latest: McPake update
Speaking to Football Insider, an Ibrox source has revealed that the Light Blues have now given the ‘green light’ for McPake to leave on a permanent deal, as he is ‘surplus to requirements’.
The Gers have personally ‘told’ McPake that he can go after his loan spell at Tranmere ends.
The Verdict: Shame
It is certainly a shame that McPake’s career at RFC has not quite worked out, especially coming through their youth ranks.
Described as ‘excellent’ and a ‘great talent’ by Harrogate Town manager Simon Weaver, another team that he has gone out on loan to, the 20-year-old signed a new deal at Rangers just last year, a testament to how highly-rated he is.
However, the summer seems the best time for both McPake and the club to part ways, as the Scottish winger looks to seek more regular first-team football and the Light Blues bank a potentially decent profit.
