Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty has finally joined Glasgow Rangers for a fee that smashes Burnley's outgoing transfer record.

The 20-year-old hitman has signed a five-year deal with the Scottish Premier League club that will net the Clarets a guaranteed £3m, plus £250,000 based on appearances and 10% of all future profits.

That totally overshadows the £1.75m received by Burnley when current striker Ade Akinbiyi joined Sheffield United in January 2006, before re-joining the Clarets a year later for under half of that amount.

An additional payment for Lafferty could be necessary, dependent on Rangers midfielder Alan Gow agreeing a move to join Burnley by Thursday, June 26.

Lafferty told the official Rangers website: "I'm delighted to be here.

"The move has been a long time in coming and I'm thrilled to be at the club at last."
