Livingston have completed the signing of Rangers midfielder Ben Willianson on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year old will make the switch to the Tony Macaroni Arena after a successful spell in the Championship with Arbroath last campaign.

He could make his debut in Saturday’s Premier Sports Cup group clash with Alloa Athletic.

Manager David Martindale told the club website: “I’m delighted that both Ben himself and Rangers FC have chosen Livingston as the club best placed to help Ben in his progression.

“I watched Ben action a number of times last season whilst watching Jack Hamilton and Carlo Pignatiello at Arbroath and was always impressed. I really believe he has a great future in the game and I’m happy to get him on board here.

“Ben hasn’t long made his Scotland U21 debut which tells you the quality the lad possesses.

"I must say a big thank you to Rangers Football Club, Ben and his agent Pete Cormack for working with us to make the deal happen.”
