Rangers have signed Ben Godfrey on loan from Atalanta.
The 28-year-old defender, who played for Everton and Norwich, has the option to make the move permanent.
He spent the past two seasons on loan at Ipswich Town, Sheffield United, and Brondby, with his best form coming in Denmark.
The Rangers Review reported on Saturday night that Godfrey had passed a medical at Ibrox.
He is the club's third summer signing.

He will join John Souttar and Manny Fernandez as the team's only senior centre-back options after last season's loan deals for defenders Nasser Djiga and Derek Cornelius expired.
Speaking at the end of last season, chairman Andrew Cavenagh said: "We will always have loan players because there is good value. Whether the sporting value or future flexibility."
The club intend to make fewer loan signings this season compared to last.
This comes after the earlier signings of Ross McCrorie and Lawrence Shankland, aimed at strengthening the right-back and forward positions respectively.
McCrorie will challenge Dujon Sterling at right-back, while Shankland was secured from Hearts earlier this month.
