Rangers goalkeeper Kieran Wright has joined Airdrie on loan.
The 25-year-old will spend the season with the Championship club.
Wright, who has played for Dumbarton, Partick Thistle and Albion Rovers, will rival Murray Johnston for the No1 spot.
The goalkeeper - signed at Rangers since 2015 - will join up with his new team next week.
Airdrie coach David Hutton said of the signing: “I’ve worked with Kieran before, he’s a hungry goalkeeper who was very keen to join the club when he heard of our interest. “He’s good with his feet, and a great shot-stopper. You don’t spend that long at Rangers if you haven’t got a bit about you! “I’m really looking forward to working with him - and I’m delighted that I’ve got two top goalies competing for the jersey.”

"Capped at U17, U19 and U21 level for Scotland, Kieran heads to the Albert Bartlett Stadium to vie for the goalkeeping position with fellow loanee Murray Johnson."
