Rangers have confirmed the signing of Scott Wright from Aberdeen.
The Pittodrie youth graduate has joined the Scottish Premiership leaders on a four-and-a-half year deal.
Wright was headed for Ibrox in the summer anyway, but Steven Gerrard has got his man ahead of schedule after a deal was agreed with The Dons.
That will see Ross McCrorie's loan spell in the North East become permanent now rather than in the summer, with a chunk knocked off the previously agreed fee.
Wright said: “I’m delighted to be here at this massive club and can’t wait to run out at Ibrox for my debut, and then hopefully in front of a full house in the not-too-distant future.
“It is a real privilege to have the opportunity to work under a manager like Steven Gerrard and speaking to him and Ross Wilson, I am really impressed with how everyone at the club all have the same aims and ambitions.
“I cannot wait to meet my new teammates and get started as a Rangers player."
Boss Steven Gerrard added: “It is very pleasing to have Scott for the rest of this season. This will give him the opportunity to gain some valuable game time in a blue shirt for the rest of the season.
“Scott is a player that I have admired and I believe that we can utilise his skill set within our system. He will train with his new teammates tomorrow.”
