Rangers defender Fernando Ricksen is poised to make his loan stay in Russia into a permanent move according to his agent.
The Dutch defender fell out with new Ibrox chief Paul Le Guen shortly after his arrival at the club in the summer.
Ricksen, 30, was loaned out to Zenit St Petersburg and the player's agent Rob Jansen has revealed that he is closing in on sealing a permanent switch.
He told the Scottish Daily Mail: "Zenit are very happy with Fernando and he seems to be quite happy in Russia.
"I am scheduled to fly to St Petersburg within the next two weeks for talks to make the deal permanent."
