NORWICH City and Scotland defender Russell Martin has arrived in Glasgow to complete his move to Rangers.
The 32-year-old landed at Glasgow Airport on Tuesday morning to finalise a loan switch to Ibrox.
Norwich and Rangers have agreed terms and Martin will undergo a medical this afternoon before the move is confirmed.
He is set to become the Gers' fourth signing of the January transfer window following the captures of Sean Goss, Jamie Murphy and Jason Cummings.
The Canaries centre-back has been capped 29 times by Scotland but has fallen out of favour at Carrow Road this season, making just five league appearances, the last of which came in August.
He said to the Scottish Sun: “I’m absolutely delighted to be here. There’s still a bit to do but let’s get it done today – as you can see from this big suitcase I’m expecting to stay for a while!
“There’s been interest from a lot of clubs – Championship down in England.
“But as soon as I knew Rangers were interested a couple of weeks ago I said to my agent from the off this was the one I wanted."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
