RANGERS HAVE PULLED off a deadline-day coup by signing Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey on loan from Juventus.
The out-of-favour Juve player opted for a switch to the Scottish champions despite interest from the Premier League and elsewhere.
The 31-year-old, whose contract in Turin runs until the summer of 2023, is one of the biggest signings to hit Scottish football in recent seasons.

Rangers earlier announced the signing of 20-year-old right-back Mateusz Zukowski from Lechia Gdanks but failed with an improved bid for John Souttar, which was understood to be in the region of £400,000.
Hearts were assessing potential options in case Souttar left late in the day but were otherwise happy with their business.
Celtic had their new arrivals sorted before deadline day but there have been loan departures from Parkhead.
Former Sheffield Wednesday defender Osaze Urhoghide has joined Oostende with the Belgian side holding an option to buy, while 19-year-old Adam Montgomery has joined Aberdeen.
St Mirren signed former Kilmarnock and Rangers winger Jordan Jones on loan from Wigan until the end of the season after allowing Kyle McAllister to join Partick Thistle in a similar deal.
The Buddies have also had fresh approaches for Republic of Ireland midfielder Jamie McGrath.
Manager Jim Goodwin said: “This afternoon there are conversations ongoing between our club and a couple of other clubs but as with anything there is a cost involved and it is up to the buyers to meet the valuation that we put on the player.”
