Forgotten Rangers flop Jose Cifuentes is set to arrive in Greece today to seal another loan move out of Ibrox after finally cutting through Brazilian red tape.
The Ecuadorian midfielder first exited Rangers in February on loan to Cruzeiro, but he managed to make just three starts in Brazil's Seria A and was bombed out of the first team.
He's set to move to Aris Salonika in Greece on loan until the end of the year with an obligation to buy, which has been reported as being set at £4 million.

However, although Cifuentes agreed terms with the club last month, his move has been strangled in red tape, with Cruzeiro having to first cancel the loan deal with Rangers, which encountered complications because of Brazilian work permit regulations.
Only then was Cifuentes free to go on another loan to Greece with Aris.
He's finally got the green light to travel to Thessaloniki and is expected to be paraded at the weekend after completing his medical at the club.
Cifuentes made just six league starts for Rangers since arriving from Los Angeles FC in a £1.2 million deal.
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!
