The 28-year-old former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder arrived at Ibrox on a deadline day transfer from French Ligue 2 side Amiens.
The deal is a season-long loan, although Steven Gerrard’s side do have an option to buy Zungu outright, though the Siya crew understands that Amiens have slapped a €4m (±R77m) price tag on his head.
Speaking to Rangers TV, the club’s sporting director Ross Wilson has insisted that the club will be monitoring Zungu’s progress closely in the coming months to determine whether they will buy him outright or send him back to France.
“Bongani Zungu joined us near the end of the window. He joined us on a loan with an option to buy. So, we will continue to assess him. Steven and the guys on the training pitch every day will continue to assess what he can bring to us moving forward.
“We are delighted that it is time for him to join with the group now and to really feel part of what we are doing here,” Wilson told Rangers TV.

‘Ben 10’, could get his first run out for the club in their Europa League clash against Benfica this Thursday.
