Rangers have completed the signing of Kyle Lafferty after agreeing a fee with Hearts.

Rangers announced the transfer this afternoon with Lafferty presented by the club holding the Gers’ shirt.

Lafferty has been with Hearts since joining the club in 2017 and enjoyed a fantastic season last year, scoring 19 goals in all competitions.

He began this season well too, recently netting a winner for Hearts over Celtic.

Perhaps it was that which sparked the attention of Rangers boss Steven Gerrard, and the Gers have since been pushing to snap him up.

Lafferty spent four seasons with Rangers between 2008 and 2012, and has had a mixed time since, with troubles on and off the pitch.

Still only 30, his time at Hearts has revitalised his career, preparing him for a second stint at Rangers.
