Danny Wilson was in his second spell with Rangers
Danny Wilson has completed his transfer from Rangers to Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids.
Rapids announced the 26-year-old central defender had signed a three-year contract, with the club holding an option for a fourth year.
He was out of contract this summer and allowed to leave after the signing of Scotland international Russell Martin on loan from Norwich City.
Wilson was in his second spell with the Scottish Premiership club.
Rangers lifted by added competition
He told Rapids' website that he was excited by the vision put forward by executive vice-president and general manager Padraig Smith and coach Anthony Hudson for the side who finished 10th in last season's 11-team Western Conference.
"First and foremost, I would like to thank Rangers, as well as their supporters, for the terrific support they showed during my time with the club," he said.
"But, in my discussions with Padraig and coach Hudson, it became clear that the Rapids have a very ambitious vision for the future."
Wilson, who won the last of his five Scotland caps in 2011, came through the youth ranks at Ibrox before a £2m move to Liverpool in 2010.
He made only nine first-team appearances at Anfield and had loan spells with Blackpool, Bristol City and Hearts before a permanent move to the latter in 2013.
Wilson, who rejoined Rangers in 2015, played 15 times this season, including 11 of Graeme Murty's first 12 matches in charge following the departure of Pedro Caixinha.
However, he has not played in two games since a 0-0 draw with Celtic on 30 December.
Rapids' Smith added: "Danny's signing is an important addition to our back line.
"In addition to his experience and leadership, Danny is in the prime of his career and will be one of the best passing centre-backs in the league."
