Rangers midfielder Nedim Bajrami is set to seal a move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Taawoun.

The Rangers Review reports an agreement has been reached for the Albanian to initially join the club on loan, with a future fee of around £2.5 million finalised.

Bajrami joined Rangers from Sassuolo in the summer of 2024. He recorded 63 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.

He signed a four-year deal with the option of a further 12 months after joining the Ibrox club from Philadelphia Union for £3m.

"We’re really pleased to bring Olwethu to the club," Rangers manager Derek McInnes said. "He’s a player we have watched closely, and we feel he has all the attributes to make a real impact here, while also continuing to develop his game.

"For someone so young, he’s already gained experience in different environments. He is a strong, physical and confident defender, and I look forward to seeing him settle into the squad and show what he is capable of as a Rangers player."
