Jose Cifuentes agent gets Rangers VIP treatment as takes in Celtic showdown and gets training ground tour

Jose Cifuentes is close to becoming Michael Beale's third signing as Rangers manager and it looks to have taken a step closer after the MLS star's agent was given the VIP treatment at Ibrox.

The Ecuadorian midfielder looks set to sign a long-term deal at Ibrox as Beale looks to rebuild his squad ahead of next season. Ahead of a potential move to Govan Cifuentes' agent Stefan Jarrin attended the Scottish Premiership game against Celtic on Saturday and was given a tour around the training facilities at the Rangers Training Centre.

Cifuentes, who plays for Los Angeles FC, has made secret that he wants to head to Europe to ply his trade one day and that dream looks closer to becoming a reality. Beale revealed after the Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Celtic that his squad would undergo a huge rebuild this summer. A number of players are out of contract, including Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Ryan Jack, Scott Arfield and Steven Davies.

Morelos and Kent look to be heading for the exit door, however Jack is believed to be close to signing a new contract at Ibrox.

Taking to Linkedin, Jarrin posted pictures of his time in Scotland at the match and attending the training ground on the outskirts of Glasgow. He wrote on the social media platform: "A great few days in Glasgow with Rangers Football Club. Thanks for the hospitality!"
