Kyle Bartley has opted to rejoin Rangers on a season long loan after giving his word to Ally McCoist that he would return to Ibrox towards the end of last season.
The Arsenal youngster told several newspapers:
‘When I left Rangers last season I said I had unfinished business, my aim was to come back here and keep playing games.’
Bartley, whose own goal against the New York Red Bulls last Sunday lost Arsenal the Emirates Cup, decided to return to Scotland for a second spell and evidently keep his word to the Rangers manager McCoist, even though he attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
Bartley went on to say:
‘There were a few options in the English league but Mr Wenger decided that he would leave the decision to me and I gave my word to Ally that if I was going on loan again, I would be coming back here. I wanted to keep that word.’
It is vital that the 20-year-old centre-back gains first-team experience and games under his belt when he’s out at Rangers. Hopefully, when he returns next summer, Bartley will have the confidence and experience to push for a first-tem place at Arsenal. Fingers crossed.
