Wing-back Fernando Ricksen has sealed his exit from Rangers after agreeing a permanent deal with Russian side Zenit St Petersburg.
The 30-year-old Holland international joined Zenit in the summer on a season-long loan after falling out with Gers boss Paul Le Guen, and is happy to stay put in Russia.
Ricksen said: "I'm so happy to be away from there. Here, it is great to be playing and that is something I missed in Glasgow.
"Maybe I stayed there too long, I was satisfied and had won all the prizes."
Ricksen joined Rangers in the summer of 2000 for £3.75million from AZ Alkmaar and went on to make more than 250 appearances for the SPL giants.
