"I am really pleased to be joining a club like Rangers, where there is so much to look forward to between now and May," Ramsey said.

"I had a number of offers on the table, but none matched the magnitude of this club, with European football and the chance to play in front of 50,000 fans every other week."

Rangers, who are in the Europa League, did not announce whether an option to buy was added to the deal.

The Wales international has only made five appearances for Juventus this season after joining the club in 2019.

He spent from 2008 to 2019 at Arsenal with brief loan stints at Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City.

He was part of the Wales squad which went out in the round of 16 at last summer's European Championships.

He will now play a part in Rangers' bid to retain the Scottish Premiership title, with the club two points clear of rivals Celtic at the top.

"I'm absolutely delighted that we have been able to add a player of Aaron's quality, experience and leadership to our squad," manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst said.

"As soon as it was mooted as a possibility, I was really keen for us to try everything to get the deal done."
