Rangers have completed the loan signing of Hibernian striker Florian Kamberi with midfielder Greg Docherty moving in the opposite direction.

Gers boss Steven Gerrard moved for the 24-year-old Swiss, who has eight goals this season, after losing Jermain Defoe to a calf injury for about five weeks. Kamberi and Docherty have moved on loan for the rest of the season.

Rangers earlier completed the signing of Romania midfielder Ianis Hagi - son of Romanian great Gheorge - on loan from Belgian champions Genk with an "exclusive option'' to buy the 21-year-old at the end of the season.

Kamberi told RangersTV: “Ever since I came to Scotland it has been a dream for me to move to Rangers and it has happened today, so I am a very, very happy man.

“For me, Ibrox is the best atmosphere I have ever played in. My second game for Hibs was against Rangers at Ibrox and after the game, I told my agent immediately my dream would be to play in this stadium in front of these fans as they are the best fans in the world – the support is massive.

“At the end of the day, it is all about winning. I am a winner and I am always on the pitch to win, so I will try my best to give that to this club.”
