John Souttar is reportedly on the verge of completing a transfer exit from Rangers.

It's claimed the defender is set to join Greek club Aris.

The Daily Record report that the 29-year-old has a three-year deal on the table from the Greek club.

The Scottish transfer deadline closed last week but the Greek window stays open until September 15 making a move for Souttar possible.

Souttar has hardly been involved under Derek McInnes despite having a contract until 2027 with the option of a further year.

Discussing Souttar's situation earlier this week, McInnes stated Souttar was aware that his long-term future was away from Rangers.

He said: "The likelihood is that John has been told his long-term future would be best served elsewhere.

"He still has opportunities to move. There are a few windows still open in Europe and there are a few possibilities for him.

"I don't want to speculate too much, but there are one or two options he's keen on that seem to be gathering traction.

"For him, going somewhere and playing regular football might be the best option. But if nothing materialises, then of course we'll honour his contract and he'll come back into things."
