Scottish Championship side Rangers have signed five Newcastle United players on loan until the end of the season.

Gael Bigirimana, Shane Ferguson, Kevin Mbabu, Remie Streete and Haris Vuckic have all travelled to Scotland to play for the Ibrox outfit.

The 21-year-old Bigirimana joined the Magpies from Coventry City in July 2012, making 26 first-team appearances for the Tyneside club.

Ferguson, a 23-year-old Northern Ireland international, has played 32 first-team games for Newcastle and spent the majority of last season on loan at Birmingham City.

Meanwhile 19-year-old Mbabu is a Switzerland Under-19 international, 20-year-old Streete made his Football League debut with Port Vale earlier this season, and 22-year-old Vuckic has one cap for Slovenia.

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley owns a stake in Rangers.
