It has been confirmed today that Rangers’ former number two Matt Gilks has completed his permanent exit from Ibrox to Wigan for an ‘undisclosed fee’. Rangers, who yesterday clinched the signing of 23 year old Port Vale stopper Jak Alnwick, have dispensed with the services of Gilks after the Scotland cap failed to break through to the first team and ran out of patience with his time at Ibrox on the bench.
As has been reported Gilks was the one who sought the move and Rangers were not of volition to sell him but Wigan’s interest has been on record for weeks and with the player desiring the move Warburton did not hold him back and he has now departed Rangers for the EFL Championship again where he will hope to be first choice.
