Rangers have secured a double deal after signing Mexico internationals Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera on three-year contracts.

Midfielder Pena joins from Guadalajara, while striker Herrera arrives at Ibrox from fellow Mexican side Pumas.

Thursday's arrivals take the number of Rangers summer signings to eight, with Bruno Alves, Fabio Cardoso and Alfredo Morelos among those already brought in by Pedro Caixinha.

Pena has played 19 times for his country and was selected for their 2014 World Cup squad, although he is yet to play outside Mexico at club level.

"I am very happy to become part of this great club that has such great supporters," Pena told Rangers TV.

"I have been waiting for this move for many years now. I wanted to become part of European football and I hope I will be able to make my own contribution to the team."

Herrera has been with Pumas since 2007, making 186 appearances and scoring 56 goals.
