Scottish Premier League club Rangers have signed USA defender Carlos Bocanegra on a three-year deal.

Ally McCoist's recruitment drive has gathered pace over the last few days and former Fulham full-back Bocanegra, 32, is the latest to arrive at Ibrox.

Bocanegra, who joins from French side Saint-Etienne, could play in tomorrow's UEFA Europa League play-off against Maribor should he receive international clearance.
