Rangers have completed the signing of Nasser Djiga on a season-long loan from Wolves.

The 22-year old moved to the Premier League club in February from Red Star Belgrade and made five appearances in England's top flight.

He has now been loaned to the Ibrox side to continue his development and boost Russell Martin's defensive options.

Djiga is a Burkina Faso international and has experience playing in Serbia, France and Switzerland.

The central defender cost Wolves a fee of around £10million earlier this year.

He becomes Russell Martin's latest addition after the new head coach completed deals for Max Aarons, Joe Rothwell, Emmanuel Fernandez and Thelo Aasgaard.

Speaking to the club's official website, 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."

Head coach 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.”
