GLASGOW Rangers' Alan Gow has today signed on loan for the Canaries for the rest of the season.

International clearance has been confirmed and the 26-year-old forward is available to go into City's squad to face Wolves tomorrow night.

On securing Gow, City manager Bryan Gunn told canaries.co.uk: "I'm delighted to secure Alan on loan until the end of the season as there were a lot of other clubs looking to sign him.

"Alan has already played in the Championship for Blackpool this season so he knows the level and the standard down here.  He can play in a variety of positions so that will be important to us with 16 games to go.  It will be interesting to see how he combines with Chris Killen from his Old Firm rivals Celtic." 

Gow, who stands at six-foot tall and can play either central midfield, on the wing or up-front, began his career at Clydebank in 2000, making eight appearances in total. In August 2002 he transferred to Airdrie United, appearing 98 times and scoring 26 goals.

In June 2005, Gow, or 'Gowser' as he later became known amongst Rangers fans, moved to Falkirk, making 81 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 times.

The midfielder made his debut for Scotland 'B' against Finland as a substitute in a 2-2 draw in February 2007 and scored their second goal of the game.
Gow joined Rangers in July 2007, the team he supported as a boy, but chances in the first-team have been limited with him making just two appearances in Scottish cup competitions so far for the Gers.

After speculation linking him to the Canaries in the summer the Scot joined Championship Blackpool on loan in September, making 17 appearances in total and scoring 5 goals for the Seasiders.

He has been issued with squad number 17.
