Fifa has granted temporary international clearance for defender Steven Whittaker to join Norwich City.

Newco Rangers chief executive Charles Green had attempted to block moves for Steven Naismith, Kyle Lafferty, Steven Whittaker and Jamie Ness to Everton, Sion, Norwich and Stoke respectively.

But Fifa has granted temporary dispensation for the moves until full international clearance is given.

Steven Davis's switch to Southampton has yet to be ratified.
