[6] He completed the loan spell with 11 appearances for Luton, eight of which came as a substitute. [7]
On 13 August 2015, Oduwa, alongside Spurs teammate, Dominic Ball, signed for Scottish Championship club Rangers on season-long loans. [8] [9] He debuted three days later as a 61st-minute substitute for Barrie McKay in a 5–1 away win over Alloa Athletic.
