Shinnie has had a brief taste of first team action at Rangers

Rangers reserve midfielder Andrew Shinnie is to join Dundee on a loan deal until January.

The 19-year-old made two first team appearances for the Ibrox club last year, both as a late substitute.

And Shinnie was captain of Rangers' Under-19 side that won the league and cup double last season.

Meanwhile, Dundee manager Jocky Scott has rewarded teenage defender Kyle Benedictus with a new contract after his promotion to the top team.

The 16-year-old has played in three matches since Scott took over at the end of October.

"We've got Kyle tied up on a new contract, it's a better one and an extended one," Scott told the club website.

"I see a big future for him, hence the reason why I've put him on the new contract, he's shown me a lot of potential to become a right good player.

"He's done very well in the three games he's been involved in, I'm not getting carried away about it but the potential he's shown deserves a bit of a boost and that's what we've given him."
