Rangers have taken Manchester United full back Phil Bardsley on loan until the end of the year.
Bardsley heads to Ibrox to be reunited with fellow United youngster Lee Martin, who joined The Gers in a similar arrangement last week.
He will look to secure regular first-team football in Glasgow and Rangers boss Paul Le Guen is delighted to sign a second Red Devil.
"I'm very pleased that Phil Bardsley has signed," Le Guen told the club's official website.
"I went to Old Trafford last year when Manchester United played Benfica when Phil was in the team and he played very well.
"Alex Ferguson has already been helpful in letting us have Lee Martin and I am thankful that we have Phil as well.
"I am sure that Bardsley will be a good addition to our squad this season."
The 21-year-old made 15 appearances for United last term after deputising for the injured Gary Neville at right back in the autumn.
Bardsley concluded the campaign on loan at Burnley, while he has featured regularly for The Red Devils in pre-season.
