Rangers are expected to present new signing Couhaib Driouech on Thursday, with the winger’s medical due to be finished off today.

The Gers have flown the Moroccan winger to the UK to put him through a medical after they agreed a fee with PSV Eindhoven for his signature.

Rangers are to pay the Dutch giants €8m for Driouech and will hope he can hit the ground running at Ibrox.

Now the final stages of making the move official are under way and, according to Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink, Driouech will finish off the end of his medical today.

His presentation as a new Rangers player ‘is in principle only scheduled for tomorrow’ however.

That could well mean Driouech is introduced to the Ibrox crowd on Thursday night when the Gers play in the Europa League.

MLS side Colorado Rapids and La Liga club Celta Vigo were both interested in the Moroccan, pushing Rangers to get a deal done quickly.

Driouech will put pen to paper to a four-year contract at Rangers, running until 2030.

The Gers are also kicking on with recruitment across a number of other areas, with right-back a particular focus.

Club Brugge man Hugo Siquet is a right-back that Rangers are showing an interest in, as they look unlikely to trust just in Dujon Sterling and Ross McCrorie to do the job.

There is also the question of adding another striker, following the huge blow of Youssef Chermiti’s ACL injury, confirmed by the Gers on Tuesday.

Rangers had only just rejected a big bid for the Portuguese striker before he picked up the serious knee injury in their Scottish Premiership defeat at the hands of Hibernian at the weekend.

The Ibrox side are looking for around another three arrivals before the window closes in early September.
