Former Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron has joined Premiership rivals Rangers on a four-year deal.
The 21-year-old rejected the offer of a new contract at Aberdeen and left Pittodrie at the end of the season when his deal ran down.
Aberdeen would have been entitled to £525,000 in training compensation if the midfielder had signed for a club outside of Scotland.
Rangers will have to reach a fee with Aberdeen or the issue will be settled at a tribunal.
Barron had offers from clubs in Italy and England but rejected them in favour of Rangers.
Barron said: “I am absolutely delighted. As soon as I started talking to the club I knew that this was the place for me to come.
“Everything seemed right and I think it is the best place for me to be at this moment of my career.
“It is a club where the demand is high to win football matches and trophies and that is something that I really want to be a part of.
“It was a massive decision for me, but it was made easy by speaking to the staff and the manager and now I can’t wait to get started.”
Rangers manager Philippe Clement said: “We are thrilled to welcome Connor to the club.
“He’s a young talented player with the right mentality who’s already gathered a lot of experience in the Scottish Premiership and in Europe.”
