Rangers have confirmed the signing of defender Olwethu Makhanya on a four-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months.
Makhanya becomes the Ibrox club's eighth summer signing and joins for a fee in the region of £3 million.
The 22-year-old was in South Africa's World Cup squad, having debuted for his country in May.
"I can't even explain how I am feeling right now, it is honestly a big honour and a huge blessing for me to join such a big club with so much history. I can't wait to get started," Makhanya said.
"For me, it has always been a dream to play football in Europe, ever since I was a kid, so to be here is a dream come true."
