Nedim Bajrami has been hit with a registration issue after heading to Saudi Arabia on loan from Rangers.

The Albania attacking midfielder joined side Al-Taawoun last month, in search of more regular football. He has already made five appearances - four in the Saudi Pro League and one in the Kings Cup.

However, he is not going to be able to play in continental competition due to a registration problem.



His registration for the AFC Champions League Two, Asia's equivalent of the Europa League, has been knocked back.

Due to financial restrictions, the The Financial Sustainability Committee have informed the club the are unable to register and play their new arrival for the competition.

Al-Tawoun could potentially shift their squad around to squeeze him in, or just accept he is ineligible.

Bajrami has a contract at Ibrox until 2028 but the Saudi side have an option to purchase him next summer.
