蘇超Rangers租借Lee Martin直到2006年底為止。

Rangers have signed Manchester United left winger Lee Martin on a loan
deal until the end of the year.
Martin, signed from Wimbledon in 2003, passed a medical and agreed terms
with the Glasgow club.
The 19-year-old was in Glasgow two weeks ago when Manchester United went
north to play Celtic in a friendly.
Martin, for whom United could have to pay ￡1m if he reaches agreed targets,
spent the second half of last season in Belgium with Royal Antwerp.
He has only played once for the United first-team in a competitive game,
when ffeaturing in the Carling Cup tie with Barnet last October.
However, the youngster has had a taste of European football as he sat on
the bench as United beat Benfica in the Champions League at Old Trafford
last season.

Lee Martin is already a favourite at Rangers having helped United beat
Celtic 3-0 in pre-season, but now he has the chance to enhance his
reputation after signing for the Gers on loan.
Rangers boss Paul Le Guen admitted he liked United’s 19-year-old midfielder
after watching the youngster run riot at Parkhead two weeks ago. Now, after
capturing his target, the delighted former Lyon coach admits that he may well
figure in this weekend’s SPL clash with Dunfermline.
"I am excited about this young player and I think he could be a good addition
to the squad,” said Le Guen, whose side are unbeaten after two games.
"I was impressed with Lee when I watched him play for Manchester United
against Celtic recently and I have spoken about him many times with Alex
Ferguson – he confirmed to me that he is a good player.
"I think it could be good for all parties - the player, Manchester United
and Rangers - because he will be able to improve here so it's good for
everyone.
"He could be involved at Dunfermline on Sunday, why not? I am happy that
he is fit because he has played in quite a few matches in pre-season."
Sir Alex is a big admirer of Martin and is keen to see how he handles first
team football in such a pressurised environment. After the Celtic victory
Ferguson sang the youngster’s praises and admitted that a club like Rangers
would be a perfect move for him.
“Lee is an exceptionally talented young player and, if he is going out on
loan again, we would like him to go to a club of some stature where he can
develop further,” he said.
Rangers fits the bill perfectly and Martin himself can’t wait to get
started. The youngster believes he will be in good company north of the
border, and thinks that the move could be the catalyst to more opportunities
at Old Trafford.
"I know a lot of the players by name only. I used to play football computer
games and Rangers were one of the teams!” he told Rangers’ official
website. "Now these are the guys I will be training with so I'm looking
forward to meeting them all and settling in as quickly as possible.
"I'm delighted to come to such a club as Rangers. It's unbelievable and I
have high expectations during my loan period. The whole reason for me coming
her is to improve as a player on and off the pitch. It would be brilliant if
I could get into the squad for Sunday's game at Dunfermline. My aim is to get
into the starting 11 as quickly as possible.
"I know this is a new period for Rangers with a new manager and new players
so for me to come in and be a part of it is really exciting. I'm really
looking forward to it."
Last year Martin made his senior debut against Barnet in the Carling Cup. He
made 13 appearances for the reserves before heading out on loan to Antwerp –
where he quickly caught the eye with his energetic performances. Martin was
signed from Wimbledon in 2003.
Another United Reserves player embarking on a loan is Adam Eckersley, who
has joined Brondby until the end of the year.
The 20-year-old left-back will link up with former coach Rene Meulensteen
in Denmark, and will be reunited with former team-mate Mark Howard, who
joined Brondby this summer after being released from United.
