What's now left to do for Rangers as Kevin Kelsy's whereabouts revealed
Rangers look to be in the final stages of their move for Kevin Kelsy.
Youssef Chermiti's injury has forced the Gers back into the market for a striker, which was not initially in their plans.
The Gers have agreed a £9.5million deal with Major League Soccer side Portland Timbers for the Venezuelan forward.
He was understood to be waiting on a visa to travel over and take his medical.
Now an update has been shared on his whereabouts and what needs to happen for the move to be completed.

What is left for Rangers and Kevin Kelsy?
Kelsy's arrival at Rangers look to be imminent now.
The Athletic's Tom Bogert claimed via X on Sunday that the 22-year-old has flown to Europe to have his medical.
He stated that the medical needs to be completed before "one or two" final details are worked out.
The Bears now know that they are close to sealing their 13th signing for Derek McInnes and it may be the most important yet.
Why is Kelsy transfer the most important one for Rangers?
Rangers have sorely missed Chermiti’s influence in the number nine role, as Lawrence Shankland has only notched two goals so far.
Chermiti struck 15 times last season in the league, with five assists to his name.
The 22-year-old Light Blues star averaged 3.56 shots, created 0.91 chances and took 7.12 touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes, according to figures from FotMob.
Kelsy is a similar profile to the Portuguese forward and his numbers look very encouraging in MLS.
He has managed nine goals and two assists in 20 matches and the underlying numbers make for even more exciting reading.
Kelsy has averaged 3.19 shots, created 1.23 chances and taken 5.80 touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes, in the current MLS campaign.
He is not afraid to help out defensively, with 3.19 contributions per game, including 1.23 tackles, 2.17 recoveries and 1.09 clearances.
