New signing, Jordan Jones, has spoken to RangersTV for the first time.
The 24-year-old eventually moves to Ibrox on a free having signed a pre-contract agreement back in January.
It brings to an end a three-year stint at Kilmarnock, where he raised his profile as a player.
Now an established international with Northern Ireland, Jones is looking to kick on to earn tangible success at club level.
“I feel full of confidence and I am really determined to come here and make my mark,”
“I think the squad is a lot stronger than it has been, and the way the gaffer has got the team playing is very good and very structured. It is a challenge, but it is a challenge I am really up for. I am determined to get myself in that starting XI and keep my place.”
He was then asked how he thinks he’ll feel when he walks down the tunnel for the first time as a Rangers player.
“It’s something I have thought about for a really long time, and I think when the moment does come it will be surreal but I will be over the moon when it happens.”
Verdict
Jones’ excitement is palpable ahead of the new season.
He is a professional, but these last few months must have been difficult, considering he’s known that he was Ibrox-bound since January.
He speaks confidently about the task in front of him and his self-assuredness shows in his football.
Just last week, he starred for Northern Ireland during two Euro 2020 Qualifiers. His two assists played a large role in securing six points for the GAWA, keeping them top of Group C.
Rangers fans were impressed by his international displays. Now, let’s hope we see more pace, trickery and end product from him at club level over the coming months.
