Rangers have signed Jose Cifuentes on a four-year deal for around £1.2m from Los Angeles FC.
The 24-year-old midfielder becomes manager Michael Beale's ninth summer signing as he rebuilds his squad ahead of the new season.
Ecuador international Cifuentes, who has made 16 appearances for his country, was a part of LAFC's double-winning squad who lifted the MLS Cup and the Supporters' Shield last year.
«I'm very excited to be here, I think this club is amazing,» he said.
«When I spoke to Michael Beale, he told me about the project, what he wants here for the club, and he told me what he wants from me here so that's why I joined. I love his project and his vision for football.»
