Rangers have sealed another signing, announcing the transfer of defender Fabio Cardoso via their official website.

Cardoso signs on a permanent deal from Vitoria Setubal and is expected to challenge immediately for a first team spot.

He follows Bruno Alves, Ryan Jack and Dalcio into the club, and more arrivals are expected.

Cardoso is a centre-back who is 23, and as previously represented Portugal at youth level.

His addition is further evidence of manager Pedro Caixinha’s determination to strengthen the side after a poor end to the season.
