Rangers have appointed Nils Koppen as director of football recruitment, subject to receipt of a work permit.
Koppen, 38, leaves Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, where he was head of scouting, and will start his new role on 2 January.

And Koppen believes it "is a crucial role for the club's forward strategy".
"The chairman and CEO have both been clear in recent times our player trading model has to function better and on a more regular basis," he added.
"I look forward to working with the scouting team already here at the club to ensure we reach our goals in the coming years."
Meanwhile, Tom Taylor will be Rangers' new head of performance, arriving from Brighton and Hove Albion on 22 December.
