The 22-year-old moved to Loftus Road in the January window last season in a £500,000 deal, but was yet to feature for the Championship side this season.

Born in Germany, he spent five and a half years at Manchester United having signed from Exeter City.

He has made six senior career appearances in total, with all of them coming at QPR.

Goss can play in a number of positions in midfield as well as in defence.

As well as the addition of Goss, the Light Blues hope to have midfielder Andy Halliday back from his loan spell at FC Gabala in time for the club’s trip to Florida.

There is still some paperwork to be completed which would formalise the end of the loan deal with the Azerbaijan club.

Rangers fly out to the USA on Friday to participate in the Florida Cup, an eight-team tournament that includes Brazilian sides Corinthians and Atletico Mineiro.

The Ibrox club also hope Jimmy Nicholl will have completed his move to the Govan side as assistant manager in time to join the squad in America.

Nicholl, 61, a former Rangers defender, is currently Paul Hartley’s number two at Falkirk as well as Michael O’Neill’s assistant with Northern Ireland.

Attacker Michael O’Halloran will return following his short-term loan to St Johnstone.
