MATT GILKS has joined Rangers on a two-year contract following his release from Burnley. 

The 34-year-old, who has three caps for Scotland, arrives at Ibrox after two seasons with the Clarets in the Premier League and Championship.

Gilks only made one appearance last season, in the League Cup, and replaces Cammy Bell in the squad after the 29-year-old left for Dundee United earlier this week.

He came to prominence at Blackpool, where he kept four sheets in 18 Premier League games during the 2010/11 season.

Gilks made 200 appearances for the Seasiders between 2008 and 2014 before joining Burnley, where he struggled for game time behind England international Tom Heaton.

Rangers today confirmed that he has signed on until 2018 and will travel with the squad for their pre-season training camp in the USA next week.

The goalkeeper becomes Mark Warburton's seventh signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Jordan Rossiter, Matt Crooks, Josh Windass, Joey Barton, Clint Hill and Niko Kranjcar.
