Rangers have completed the season-long loan signing of Mali international Lassana Coulibaly from French side Angers.
The move, which is subject to international clearance, will see the 22-year-old become Steven Gerrard's eighth signing of the summer.
The midfielder started his career with Bastia where he made 48 appearances after making his debut in 2015.
Coulibaly, who has nine caps for Mali, joined Angers last summer and went on to make 23 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.
He is excited to play under Gerrard but admitted he was not sure if it was a joke or not.
"It was not easy but when my agent said Gerrard is the head coach, I said okay no problem and was happy to come in," he toldRangers TV.
"He can help me to develop."
"When they asked me if I want to join this team or not, I said yes but I thought it might not really be Gerrard!"
Coulibaly is set to be joined at Ibrox by Umar Sadiq, who landed in Edinburgh late on Monday night to finalise his loan move to Rangers.
The Gers begin their Europa League qualifying campaign on Thursday evening at home to Macedonian side FK Shkupi.
