Todd Cantwell has tonight left Rangers.
The attacking midfielder has joined Blackburn Rovers in a permanent deadline day move.
The Ibrox club has confirmed the former Norwich City man has moved to Ewood Park for an undisclosed fee.
The midfielder informed Philippe Clement of his desire to quit the club earlier this summer. Clement revealed the news after the friendly fixture with Birmingham City and has repeatedly been asked about the situation in recent weeks.
And the Englishman has now returned south of the border just 18 months after making the move from Norwich City.

Rangers will bank a fee in the region of £500,000 for the 26-year-old as John Eustace - the former Ibrox trialist - strengthens his Rovers squad for the campaign. Cantwell made 64 appearances for Rangers and scored 14 goals after being recruited by Michael Beale last January.
"Todd made his own opinion about things, why he don't want to stay in Scotland," Clement said ahead of the win over Ross County last week. "And I don't speak only about Rangers, it's more Scotland. Why he wanted to leave.
"So those are decisions made for me. And it's seeing what's a good deal for them, but also for the club. And I will hear when it's the case. Until now it was not the case, apparently."
The news of Cantwell's departure comes hours after Scott Wright completed his switch to Birmingham City. The winger has agreed a three-year deal in the Midlands after City made a £300,000 approach in recent days.
Wright was part of Steven Gerrard's side that won title 55 and he went on to score in the Scottish Cup final and play in the Europa League final. Wright notched 12 goals and seven assists after moving from Aberdeen during the 2021 winter window.
“I am absolutely delighted," Wright said. "It all happened very fast, but I am delighted to be here and excited to get going.
“Everybody from the outside can see this club and where it wants to go, and I am very grateful to be a part of that and on the journey.”
