Loan Watch: Rangers Close The Gap
Written by Newcastle Utd
A round-up of United's players who were out on loan and in action over the weekend

Haris Vuckic was a second half substitute as Rangers closed the gap on second place in the Scottish Championship with a 2-0 win at Hibernian.
The Slovenian international forward, who is on loan at Ibrox until the end of the season, came off the bench for the final six minutes of the second-versus-third clash.
By that point, the Gers were already two up, with Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller scoring in either half at Easter Road.
The result leaves Rangers third in the table, but only three points behind Hibernian with a game in hand.
South of the border, Karl Darlow and Jamaal Lascelles were on the losing side as Nottingham Forest went down 3-1 at promotion-chasing Norwich City in the Championship.
The pair both saw out the full 90 minutes of a game which puts a dent into Forest's hopes of reaching the play-offs.
In League One, goalkeeper Jak Alnwick was an unused substitute in Bradford's 2-2 home draw with Fleetwood Town, while in the Vanarma Conference, forward Adam Campbell was ruled out of Gateshead's single-goal defeat at Dover Athletic through injury.
Elsewhere, Sylvain Marveaux was handed a starting spot for French side Guingamp but they played out a goalless draw away at Bastia.
Marveaux was deployed in a number ten role in the Ligue 1 fixture and lasted 71 minutes before being replaced.
