admitted that prospect interests him greatly.

“I’m absolutely delighted to come to such a massive club,” Cummings told Rangers TV. “Once I knew they were interested, there was no question in my mind that I wanted to sign for them.

“My situation down south meant that I wasn’t going to play as much, so I was just wanting to get out there, get game time and get back to enjoying football again.”

Asked if the prospect of joining Rangers permanentl­y was one which interested him, he said: “Definitely. It’s such a massive club and it’s a privilege to be here.

“I cannot wait [to make his debut at Ibrox] and I wish it was today. I can’t wait to meet all the boys, get training, get out there at Ibrox and get back to enjoying football.”

Cummings is the fourth new player to join the Ibrox club in the January transfer window – Declan John signed from Cardiff City while Sean Goss of Queens Park Rangers and Jamie Murphy of Brighton both arrived on loan last week.

Cummings could be joined at Rangers this week by Hamilton midfielder Greg Docherty – but only if the Ibrox club increase their bid for him after having an initial offer, believed to be in the region of £300,000, turned down yesterday. The New Douglas Park club value the player at around £600,000.

Rangers could also agree a temporary deal with Martin, the Norwich City and Scotland centre-half who has not been featuring at Carrow Road this season, later today.

Norwich and Rangers have agreed terms and the 32-year-old is expected to undergo a medical in Glasgow today and complete the temporary switch.

Meanwhile, Steve Clarke, the Kilmarnock manager, revealed the Rugby Park club had little difficulty turning down the offer, believed to be in the region of £350,000, which Rangers tabled for Jordan Jones.

The 23-year-old Northern Ireland winger, only has 18 months of his contract remaining.
