Rangers have completed the signing of Inverness Caledonian Thistle prospect Kieron Willox.
The 16-year old will join the Ibrox club's youth system after six years with the Caley Jags.
Willox is one of a few recruits drafted in by their under-18 side - including Partick Thistle's Cameron Cooper, Paul Nsio from Lambeth Tigers, Souleyman Mandey from Pulse Academy and Mason Munn from Glentoran.
Inverness admitted they did all they could to keep Willox at the club but were unable to fend off interest following a host of interest.
An Inverness club statement read: "We can confirm that our outstanding ICTFC Academy player Kieron Willox has joined Rangers Football Club.
"We did our best to try and keep Kieron at the club and a number of Scottish Premiership clubs have been showing serious interest in the 16 year old winger who has been with us for six seasons, but ultimately the lure of the Europa League Finalists was too strong and we wish Kieron and his family nothing but success with Rangers.
"Our Academy continues to thrive across all age groups and the fact that one of the biggest clubs in Europe is looking to sign a young man who has not even come close to playing for the first team is a credit to everyone involved in the Academy, coaches, players and parents."
