JOLEON LESCOTT will undergo a medical today before clinching a two-year deal at Rangers.
The 34-year-old has agreed a severance package with Aston Villa and arrived in Glasgow last night.
He’ll be given a whistle-stop tour of Ibrox and Murray Park before becoming Mark Warburton’s tenth signing of the summer.
Striker Joe Garner is expected to become Gers’ 11th, although it’s understood that deal won’t be concluded until Monday.
SunSport exclusively revealed on Tuesday that Warburton had travelled to Manchester for face-to-face talks with former England defender Lescott.
Sunderland were also interested, but Lescott yesterday informed Gers of his intention to snub one last Premiership pay day and immediately headed north.
