Rangers manager Ally McCoist hopes to finalise Daniel Cousin's return to Ibrox early next week.
The Scottish champions are awaiting paperwork from the Gabon Football Association in order to re-sign the striker who left for Hull in 2008.
Cousin was in the stand at East End Park on Saturday as Rangers fought back from behind to earn a 4-1 win over Dunfermline., and McCoist said: "We are still waiting on some paperwork coming through from the Gabon FA."
He added: "I'm told it should hopefully be here at the beginning of the week, Monday or Tuesday. Daniel will come in and train on Monday. As yet he hasn't signed but we are very, very hopeful we can get that done."
Andy Kirk fired Dunfermline into a shock lead before David Healy levelled and Lee McCulloch grabbed his first goal of the season. Goals from Sone Aluko and Salim Kerkar then secured what proved to be a comfortable victory for Rangers in the end.
McCulloch - who played as a striker earlier in his career but is now known more as a defensive midfielder - started up front and McCoist was thrilled with his contribution.
He said: "I thought McCulloch played that centre-forward role exceptionally well. I thought he did that job superbly, he led the line really well. His goal capped a wonderful performance.
The result means Dunfermline are still bottom of the table, but boss Jim McIntyre said: "If a team is devoid of confidence, they wouldn't start the game the way we started.
"It's the Old Firm we were playing today and we won't be judged against them. We will be judged against the teams round about us.
"We've got every confidence the boys can stay in the league, there is no doubt about that."
