MATEUSZ Zukowski has joined Polish side Lech Poznan on loan from Rangers for the remainder of the season.
Zukowski, 20, arrived at Ibrox in January on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Lechia Gdansk. However, he has made just one competitive start since, a 3-0 Scottish Cup win against Annan Athletic earlier this year.
The Polish U21 international will now return to the Ekstraklasa on an initial loan deal. The Rangers Review understands Poznan have an option to buy the right-back next summer.

Zukowski was initially brought in to provide cover at right-back following Nathan Patterson's move to Everton in the same window.
However, academy product Adam Devine worked himself into Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s squad by the end of last season. Zukowski’s exit solidifies the 19-year-old’s role as understudy to James Tavernier.
