A section of Rangers fans have been reacting on Twitter after it was reported that full-back Lee Hodson is edging closer to joining Scottish Premiership rivals St Mirren on loan.
According to STV journalist Raman Bhardwaj on his personal Twitter account, the 26-year-old is expected to wrap up his move to Paisley by the end of Monday.

OPINION
Hodson has never really had much of a chance at Ibrox, with just 27 appearances across all competitions since he was signed by Mark Warburton over two years ago. However he hasn’t had much of a chance because he is not at all good – and as one fan points out “truly awful”. The Northern Ireland international is now in the final year of his contract and this loan deal effectively means that St Mirren are paying a chunk of his wages before he is free to leave Ibrox. It’s a good piece of business by Steven Gerrard and Mark Allen, who have probably struggled to arouse any serious interest in the player for a permanent deal. These Gers fans seem happy that he is going anyway, with some of them suggesting that his move away from Govan has been well overdue. It should have happened last year but Pedro Caixinha’s squad management will no doubt go down as one of the worst in Ibrox history.
