Watson made 10 league appearances for the Latics last season but has failed to impress new boss Roberto Martinez, featuring just once this campaign in the Carling Cup.

"Ben will prove to be a fantastic addition to the squad," said Rangers boss Jim Magilton.

"He's got a proven track record in this division, as well as the Premier League, and I'm just delighted we've been able to bring him to the Club.

"He's a box-to-box midfielder, who scores goals and puts his boot in - he's got all the attributes that you need to play in that central-midfield role."
