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.
