AMIENS manager Oswald Tanchot has revealed midfielder Bongani Zungu will return to France at the end of his loan spell with Rangers.
The South African made the switch to Ibrox last summer and Steven Gerrard has first option on making the move permanent as part of the loan agreement.
But Zungu won't be staying in Glasgow for Rangers' Premiership title defence and a crack at the Champions League after failing to convince in recent months.
The 28-year-old is currently serving a Scottish FA suspension after breaching Covid regulations alongside Nathan Patterson, Calvin Bassey, Brian Kinnear and Dapo Mebude.
He has made 21 appearances in all competitions for Rangers this term but his Amiens manager has now confirmed that he will return ahead of their Ligue 2 campaign next term.
Tanchot said: "This season we have used 40 players which is far, far too much. It's hard to create anything with that turnaround.
"For next season, we won't have the services of loan players Molla Wague and Racine Coly who will return to their parent club.
"But we will have Bongani Zungu back, who has a year left of his contract with us."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
