Norwich defender Russell Martin has flown into Glasgow ahead of a proposed loan move to Rangers.

The 32-year-old Scotland international has not featured for the Sky Bet Championship side since August and is set to become Graeme Murty's fourth signing as Rangers manager following the loan arrivals of Sean Goss, Jamie Murphy and Jason Cummings.

Nottingham Forest striker Cummings signed on Monday night and the former Hibernian player is eagerly anticipating his first meeting with Celtic for his new club.

The 22-year-old told the Rangers website: 'I love playing in bigger games, and the bigger the game is, it motivates me more. There are a lot of big games in this league, especially the Old Firm games.

'Something I have always wanted to do since I can remember is to play in an Old Firm game and I can't wait to be part of one.'
