Rangers have completed a transfer deadline-day deal to sign Kevin Kelsy.
The Ibrox side finalised the agreement to sign the striker from Portland Timbers for a fee in the region of £9m.
Derek McInnes has bolstered his frontline after Youssef Chermiti was ruled out for a significant period after suffering an ACL injury against Hibernian.
Kelsy's arrival takes the signing total at Ibrox this summer to 12.
On signing for Rangers, Kelsy said: "I’ve heard a lot about the club. Even when I was younger, I saw the team in Europe. I know what the club means to the fans.
“I would love to bring some joy to the fans and the club, and score goals to bring amazing moments to the team.
“I know we have to win all the games and play well, and I’ll be ready for this with my teammates. I’m ready for this new chapter in my life.”

McInnes commented: “We’re really pleased to welcome Kevin to the club. He’s an exciting player with a lot of attributes, and what really stood out in our conversations is how hungry he is to make an impact.
“He’ll bring real quality to an area of the pitch we have been keen to strengthen, and his arrival gives us another exciting option going forward.
“Kevin has a great attitude and a real desire to improve, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can bring at Rangers.”
"No, because he's a star," said Kelsy's former boss Phil Neville when asked if he's surprised at the fee Rangers are paying for Kelsy. "When you look at the attributes needed to play at the top, top level – it's not just the finishing, it's not just the physique, it's his attitude.
"We landed once at one in the morning, and he went straight to the training ground to do his recovery. And he did that every week.
"He set the alarm off, the caretaker had to come out, the GM (general manager) called me saying, 'What's going on at the training ground?'. It was Kevin Kelsy doing his recovery.
"He does the little things incredibly well. They're spending on potential. He's not the finished article yet, he's got a long way to go. His year at Portland was up and down, but I just saw star quality, his runs, his arrogance, his belief in himself.
"I spoke to Rangers last week, and I said you will get someone who's not the finished article, but if you give him lots of love and let him develop, he can be a star."
