Madjid Bougherra has left Rangers to join Qatar champions Lekhwiya in a £1.7m deal, reports BBC Sport. The 28-year-old Algerian's last game for the Ibrox club came in the Champions League qualifying exit against Malmo.
The defender impressed since his £2.5m move from Charlton Athletic in 2008.
Bougherra also played for Gueugnon, Sheffield Wednesday and had a loan spell with Crewe Alexandra.
