Wolves boss Gary O'Neil has explained sending Fabio Silva on-loan to Rangers.

Silva moved to Ibrox on Friday on-loan to June.

"Fabio has obviously been around the squad since I've been here and played quite a lot of minutes early on," said the Wolves boss.

"It just felt better for him with where he is at the minute to go and play more regularly in a team where he should get minutes and should get a lot of opportunity to score goals.

"Rangers are one of the best teams in that league, he'll get lots of chances and a lot more game-time than he does here.

"Fabio is still young, so go away, work really hard on your game, come back in the summer and let's see where he's at."
