Rangers are reportedly hoping to hand Kevin Kelsy his debut against Falkirk this week.
The Venezuelan, 22, is closing in on a switch to Ibrox in what would be the club's second highest transfer fee behind only Tore Andre Flo back in 2000.
Derek McInnes has been desperate to add a goal scorer to his ranks to replace Youssef Chermiti who injured his ACL in a collision against Hibs towards the beginning of the campaign.
And Kelsy was identified at Portland Timbers as the target the manager wants in the door. Now the Daily Record claim the move could be sanctioned and completed as early as this week.
And with Gers facing off against the Bairns on Wednesday evening, the same outlet claims the Glasgow giants hope to have their new star man available and thrust straight into the squad to face John McGlynn's boys.
The £9million signing is expected in Glasgow tonight having been held up in San Francisco sorting out his visa, but that has now been sorted out.
The forward - who already has nine goals in 21 MLS games this term for Timbers - will become Rangers' 13th signing of the summer and the priciest ahead of Kim Min-Su and Ivor Pandur.
