It comes with Jefte on the verge of joining Palmeiras for £6 million and the expectation Ridvan Yilmaz will also move on. Youngster Robbie Fraser just joined Dunfermline too, leaving the club short of options in that area.
The manager worked with Meghoma before at Southampton and he had a spell on loan at Preston North End last season.
The 19-year-old loved the playing style Martin adopts and says his coaching methods are still fresh in the memory, which will equip him for the season.
On top of that, Rangers as a club and its history helped persuade him to head north.
'I'm very excited," he told Rangers TV. "It's a fantastic club and I know a lot about its history.

'Knowing the manager was probably the biggest influence coming here. I know Russell from my time at Southampton, I think he's a fantastic coach and I understand the way he plays, so I think for me to get integrated into the team, it'll be quite quick.
'It makes you feel more at ease because you know how he plays. He's a manager that I'm familiar with.
'All the learnings I've taken from him over the past, I can still remember. It's fantastic for me to get integrated straight away and understand how to play his style of football.
'Russell handed me my debut at Southampton. I think it was against Gillingham in the Carabao Cup. I felt comfortable straight away.
'The way he played, there's a lot of possession-based football and it's something I really enjoy, so I thank him for that.
'When the deal was presented to me, I just thought straight away it's a fantastic opportunity for myself and my family. I was always going to be here because it's an amazing club and a fantastic club that has so much history. So, yeah, it was always Rangers.
'The main thing is results. If I can add to that, it'll be amazing.'
