Panathinaikos have strengthened ahead of their Champions League showdown with Rangers by signing a former protege of Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers - ex-Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella.
Rangers meet the Greek side next month in a second qualifying round with the first leg at Ibrox and the return in Athens' Olympic Stadium.
And Panathinaikos aren't hanging about in the transfer market after securing their third new capture this summer.

However, he failed to make the breakthrough at Anfield and eventually spent five years at Nantes, where the 28-year-old captained the side before opting to move to Athens this summer.
Panathinaikos have already forked out £3 million to land Greek international defender Georgios Kyriakopoulos from Monza and fellow stopper Ahmed Touba, with the Algerian international arriving from Turkish side Basaksehir.
