Joleon Lescott has decided against a move to Rangers following talks with the club.
Lescott visited Glasgow but it is understood he has told manager Mark Warburton that he does not want to move to Scotland for family reasons.
The 34-year-old, who has a young family, was available on a free transfer with Aston Villa prepared to pay a portion of his £35,000 a week wages.
The former Everton player has also been linked with a move to David Moyes' Sunderland.
