Michael Beale has secured his second signing as Rangers manager by bringing in midfielder Nicolas Raskin.
The Belgian under-21 international had entered the final six months of his contract at Standard Liege.
Raskin signs a long-term deal with the Ibrox side and follows Todd Cantwell in the door this month.
The 21-year old graduated from the Gent youth academy and became the first player born in the 21st century to feature in the Belgian top flight when he made his debut.
He then moved to Standard Liege in January 2019 and cemented his place as a regular starter.
Manager Beale has been open about his plans to strengthen the squad during his first transfer window in charge.
He told RangersTV: “I feel very excited to be here and I also feel very proud to join a very big club. I’m looking forward to playing at Ibrox. It was very exciting when I was told of Rangers’ interest because it’s a big club.
I’m looking forward to making my debut and I hope it can be as soon as possible.”
Michael Beale said: “As a football club, Nicolas is a player that we have tracked for a long time and we are very pleased to welcome him and his family to Rangers.
“He is a young player that has already amassed good experience both in domestic and European competition. I am looking forward to working with him closely and integrating him into our team.”
Ross Wilson added: “We are delighted to further strengthen our squad today with Nico's arrival.
“He's a talented young player and someone who I know will enjoy working and further developing his talent with Michael and our staff.”
