New Rangers signing Andy King hasn’t spoken to Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers about his move to Rangers.
The notion that the former Celtic boss was endorsing King’s move to Ibrox would’ve of course been controversial amongst the Parkhead club’s fans.
But speaking to the press after being unveiled as a Rangers player, King revealed that he hasn’t spoke to Rodgers, just yet at least.

I’ve not really spoken to him about coming here specifically but I will do,” said King, as quoted by Planet Radio.
“A man who was so successful in Scottish football with the titles he won, I will call him and ask him about life in Glasgow, what Scottish football’s like and stuff like that. But I have not really had the chance to do that.”

The Premier League-winning midfielder is a Leicester legend having helped the Foxes climb from League One to the English Premier League trophy.

On top of that many Rangers, fans were trolling their Celtic rivals on Twitter with claims made about the former Celtic boss, who is now a controversial figure at Celtic Park.
