Rangers have signed defender Nasser Djiga on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 22-year-old is head coach Russell Martin’s sixth summer signing as he looks to strengthen the side ahead of this month’s Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos.
The Burkina Faso international, who joined Wolves from Red Star Belgrade on a five-year deal in February, has also had spells at Basel and Nimes.

New Rangers head coach Russell Martin was “pleased” with their first friendly performance but is expecting more signings ahead of their Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos.
He made his Premier League debut in a victory against Bournemouth before making four further appearances before the conclusion of the campaign.
On his move to Ibrox, Djiga said: “I am very happy to join Rangers, it is one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and in Europe.
“I will try to give everything, to play every game and I think it is the best team for me.
“I just want to play and enjoy football with the team.”
Max Aarons has also joined Rangers on loan
Max Aarons has joined the club on loan from Bournemouth with Emmanuel Fernandes, Joe Rothwell, Thelo Aasgaard and Lyall Cameron agreeing permanent deals.
Russell Martin added: “Nasser is someone who, despite still only being 22, has garnered valuable experience in both the UEFA Champions League and Premier League.”
“We believe he has all the attributes required to thrive here at Rangers in the upcoming campaign and I am looking forward to working with him.”
