He was club captain at the Serbian side and was rated as one of the best defensive midfielders in the league, plus has two caps for his national team.

Alongside Cammy Devlin and Dan Neil, he is the third midfielder to join the club, in addition to other summer signings Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey and Ivor Pandur.

Rangers had been in talks over a move for Tromso's Jens Hjertø-Dahl too, but have prioritised the move for Dragojevic.

He said: "It feels amazing, and I'm really happy and proud to be part of such a big club like Rangers.

"It's a big opportunity and I can't wait to get started.

"I first heard [the interest] three months ago, and when I heard it I already knew it was very interesting to me because I think the winning mentality that Rangers have is compatible with my mentality."

McInnes added: "We are really excited to bring Vanja on board.

"He's got huge potential, really exciting attributes, and boasts the character to play in this environment. To captain a club the size of FK Partizan at such a young age tells you everything you need to know about the respect he commands and the leadership qualities he already possesses.

"I believe he will add a lot to our group, and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead."
