Glen Kamara has left Rangers to join Leeds United on a permanent deal.
The Finland international star has signed a four-year contract at Elland Road for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £5.5m.
The sale represents a significant profit for the Ibrox club, who paid just £50,000 to take Kamara to Govan from Dundee in 2019. Kamara was a key player under former manager Steven Gerrard but has not been part of the first-team picture since Michael Beale took the helm in November 2022.
It became increasingly apparent in recent weeks that a departure for the 27-year-old was on the cards, with Leeds' interest known since earlier this summer. And the transfer has now reached completion, with Rangers posting a farewell message to Kamara on their official website.
A club statement said: "Rangers Football Club can today confirm the departure of Glen Kamara to Leeds United for an undisclosed fee.

"The midfielder, who joined the club from Dundee in January 2019, made over 190 appearances across five seasons at Ibrox.
"Lifting the league title in 2020/21, and the Scottish Cup the following year, Kamara was a big part of those successes in Light Blue, featuring 51 times in the league winning season.
"A memorable goal in the 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Europa League in 2021/22 saw the Finland international help Rangers to their first European final since 2008.
"All at Rangers thank Glen for his time at the club and wish him well for his future career."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
