Matt Polster has been awarded a work permit and should finalise his move to Rangers directly, according to the Scottish Sun.
The ex-Chicago Fire utility man originally joined the club on trial at the beginning of the month. After impressing, Gerrard and co wanted to take a closer look at him in Tenerife.
Now it seems as if Rangers have got their man after any potential issues with a work permit were resolved.
The little known Matt Polster, 25, has spent his entire career with the Fire in the MLS. He earned his sole USA cap against Bosnia & Herzegovina in January last year.
