Nathan Patterson has completed his record Rangers transfer move to Everton after signing a five-and-a-half year deal.
Record Sport Online revealed on Sunday that Rafa Benitez’s men had stepped up their bid to land the 20-year-old.
The Goodison Park club had a £5million bid laughed off in the summer but got serious with the Merseysiders struggling in the English Premier League.
We told how Patterson had travelled to Liverpool on Monday for a medical and now the deal has been completed.
As well as the eight-figure transfer fee of around £11.5million, Rangers will receive significant add ons as the 20-year-old progresses in the English Premier League.
The 20-year-old made his breakthrough at Ibrox last season having come through the academy ranks at the club.
With captain James Tavernier sidelined through injury during Rangers' surge to the Premiership title, Patterson impressed in his full-back role.
So far this season he has acted more as an understudy for the skipper and will hope to make a claim for the right-back slot at Everton ahead of Seamus Coleman and Jonjoe Kenny.
His form earned a call up to Steve Clarke's Scotland squad for Euro 2020 when he earned his first cap and he scored his first international goal pater in the year against Moldova.
Patterson has gone from strength to strength with the national side to become a vital part of the push to reach the World Cup in Qatar.
Rangers will now look to replace Patterson and are closing in on an 18-month loan deal for versatile New York City youngster Jamie Sands.
