Rangers have completed the deadline day signing of defender Derek Cornelius.
The centre-back was seen arriving at the club's training base at Auchenhowie and all parties managed to push through a deal ahead of tonight's transfer deadline.
Cornelius, 27, has put pen-to-paper on an initial loan deal until the end of the season.
Rangers will have an option to make the move permanent next summer and extend the contract until 2029.

Russell Martin wanted to add another experienced defender after missing out on Conor Coady earlier in the window and has landed his man this time.
The manager told the Rangers website: "We are delighted to welcome Derek to Rangers. His experience and leadership will be vital in enhancing our backline whilst adding a left-sided defender adds further balance to the squad.
“He featured heavily in a top league last season, highlighting his qualities, and we are confident he will shine further in a Rangers jersey.
"I am looking forward to working with him following the conclusion of the international break.”
Speaking after signing for Rangers, Cornelius commented: “I am excited to be here, and I am excited to finally get going.
“What excited me is that it is such a massive club with such a passionate fanbase so that is always exciting playing in front of fans that are going to support you and really push you over the edge.
"It is always something that every footballer looks forward to, so I am looking forward to playing in front of these supporters, giving it my all and winning a lot of matches.”
