This is just odd
With Mike Ashley now in effect controlling both Newcastle United and Rangers the likelihood was that there was going to be a curious relationship between the two clubs.
That 'relationship' manifested itself on transfer deadline day when five Newcastle players - Gaël Bigirimana, Shane Ferguson, Kevin Mbabu, Remie Street and Haris Vuckic - went on loan to Ibrox.
While that is not all that strange when clubs have the same owner (see Watford and Udinese) the Rangers manager Kenny MacDowall has admitted he is under orders to start all five players in every game they play.

We hope he's getting a good discount in Sports Direct for his trouble
