Rangers confirms season-long loan for Danilo
Rangers midfielder Danilo will spend the 2026-2027 campaign on loan at Botafogo, the Scottish Premiership giant has confirmed.
Danilo joins the Brazilian Serie A side with a conditional obligation to buy based on appearances, having struggled with injuries since moving to Glasgow three years ago.
The 27-year-old has netted 16 goals in 76 appearances for Rangers across all competitions, but more than half of those outings have come from the bench (42).
He fell out of favour under former Rangers boss Danny Rohl, appearing just 17 times under him before spending the second part of last season on loan to Nijmegen.
Danilo struggled to make an impact in the Netherlands, netting just once in 12 outings for the club.
The Brazilian joins a Botafogo side that sits ninth in Brazil's top flight after 19 games of its campaign, and has resumed their season after the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 2-1 win over Santos and a draw against Vitoria.
