Max Allegri on Aaron Ramsey to Rangers transfer as Juventus boss blames 'serious injury problems' for Serie A struggles

Juventus boss Max Allegri insists there is no bad blood with Aaron Ramsey after green-lighting the loan move to Rangers.

Ramsey made the loan move to Ibrox until the end of the season in a sensational bit of deadline day business.

The Welshman is in line to make his debut for Rangers as they face Hearts on Sunday as he looks to prove his match fitness to Gio van Bronckhorst.

Ramsey's last appearance for the Serie A giants came in October, having made just five appearances under Allegri this season.

But the Juventus manager insists he still has a good relationship with the playmaker despite shipping him out on loan to Ibrox.

He states the injury problems facing Ramsey were the main reason he couldn't get going this season for the Turin side.

Speaking ahead of the clash with Verona, Allegri said: "Was there anything unpleasant? No, no.

"He is a great player, (and) he had a good start (at Juventus).

"He had serious injury problems, and he was out. In agreement with him we preferred that he go and play where he had more possibilities."
