Rangers have signed Bournemouth right-back Max Aarons on a season-long loan.
The 25-year-old, who joined the Cherries from Norwich City in 2023 following a transfer reported to be worth £7m, ended last season on a six-month loan to Valencia.
Aarons made four appearances for the side who finished 12th in La Liga and the Spanish club decided against taking up an option to buy.
Now Aarons has headed to Ibrox despite reportedly being of interest to Premier League rivals and clubs in the Championship.
Bournemouth rejected a £6m offer from Southampton for the London-born defender while new Rangers head coach Russell Martin was manager last July.
By then, he had made 23 appearances, 15 of them starts, in his first season with Bournemouth but last season played only four times, two from the bench, before leaving for Valencia.
Aarons, who played for England at under-21 level, will challenge captain James Tavernier for a starting place in the absence of the injured Dujon Sterling.
