DONE DEAL: Rangers sign Wolves striker Fabio Silva

Rangers have signed Wolves striker Fabio Silva.

Silva joins Rangers on-loan to the end of the season.

Wolves chief Matt Hobbs explained: "This is a simple one - Fabio needs to play.

"He's not getting enough opportunities here, so it's a chance to go out and score goals and we'll look at the future in the summer.

"It's a big club playing in Europe, in a competition they had a good run in recently. Credit to Fabio, it's a brave move because there was lots of interest and he could have stayed in his comfort zone, maybe with better weather than Scotland, or less competitive football, but he wanted to test himself."

Silva said: "I am very happy, when I spoke to people about Glasgow and about Rangers, everyone told me good things about the club and the history.

"I played here once with Porto in the Europa League, so I already know the warm club, the environment and the stadium, so everything is perfect."
