Overview
- Daisuke Yokota signed a three-year contract with an option for a further year on Wednesday for an initial fee reported at about £2.75m plus add-ons.
- The transfer is complete but his availability for Rangers' Europa League third qualifying round tie is pending international clearance and visa paperwork.
- Manager Derek McInnes accelerated winger recruitment after a 1-1 league draw and Yokota becomes Rangers' ninth summer signing to address wide creativity.
- Rangers remain active in the market and have been linked with Fares Ghedjemis, whose club Frosinone has rejected offers and set an asking price reported at €15–20m.
- Yokota arrives off a season in Germany's 2. Bundesliga with five goals and four assists, a profile that could change Rangers' right‑side attack and give the manager more tactical options ahead of the Europa League qualifier.
