The 26-year-old will join the Glasgow club on initial £3m deal which will rise to £4m if individual and team-related add-ons are met.

Davies signed for Liverpool from Preston at the beginning of 2021 for an undisclosed fee but failed to make an appearance for the Anfield club in his first six months.

He joined Sheffield United last summer on a season-long loan deal and went on to make 22 appearances for the Blades.

He scored one goal during his time at Bramall Lane which came in a dramatic 1-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers at the end of February.

Davies began his career with Preston North End in 2013 and made over 100 appearances for the club while going out on loan several times. His first loan stint was with York City FC in the 2013-14 season.

According to reports, Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers had also been interested in Davies. Rangers have been able to raise the funds after they accepted an offer in the region of £20m from Ajax for Calvin Bassey.
