Rangers have announced Leon Balogun will leave the club this summer.
The experienced defender's contract has expired with the Ibrox side revealing he won't be back next campaign.
Balogun moved to the club in 2020 and played a big role in their Premiership title win that season.
The Nigerian international also featured during their run to the Europa League final this campaign.
Goalkeeper Andy Firth will also depart the club.
A club statement said: "Balogun initially joined Rangers in the summer of 2020 before extending his contract in 2021, and he went on to make 65 appearances for the club.
"Defender Balogun immediately bought into the club since signing and played a key role in the delivery of title number 55 to Ibrox in the 2020/21, with a 100% home record.
"Additionally, Rangers set a new club record that year of 39 league games undefeated in their final match of the season against Aberdeen.
"Whilst being a key role in the backline, the Nigerian internationalist scored two goals in Europe, both being crucial in helping the Light Blues secure their position in the Europa League final in Seville after a remarkable run in the campaign.
"Leon leaves a Ranger with everyone at Ibrox wishing him well for the next move in his career."
