Transfer News
Rangers have completed the signing of Scott Brown from Hibs for a fee of £2.4M. Rangers have been chasing the youngster for some time and have decided to act and splash the cash on him.
Walter Smith "We've been looking to sign Scott for some time now and to get him is fantastic for the club and we hope he enjoys his time here. We are still in the process of going for new players but right now my attention is on tomorrows home game against Hearts."
Unfortunately for Rangers, Brown will not be able to play in that match as he picked up an injury last week in training for Hibs and will miss at least another couple of weeks.
David Healy has flown to Ibrox tonight for contract talks and a medical and is expected to sign tomorrow but probably not in time for the clash with Hearts.
Rangers have also rejected a £1M bid from Aston Villa for defender Ian Murray. There has been speculation surrounding the versatile defender that he is to leave if Rangers sign Gary Naysmith from Everton in which talks are at an advanced stage.
Brown has signed but is injured and unable to play against former Edinburgh rivals Hearts! Projected First Team Line Up for Rangers 06/07 13. Craig Gordon
