Rangers new boy Ridvan Yilmaz has revealed his excitement at joining a club who have proven their ability to compete at an elite level.

The 6 times-capped Turkey international has arrived in Govan on a deal from Besiktas worth £3.4m with the potential for another £1.6m in bonuses.

The left-back has been interesting a number of top clubs in recent months, including Eintracht Frankfurt, but Rangers were able to get a deal over the line where others failed.

And Yilmaz can't wait to play for a team that he feels is going places.

He said: “I am delighted to be joining a club the size of Rangers and am really looking forward to meeting my new teammates.

“This is a club who have shown they can compete against some of the best teams in Europe, and I am really excited by the challenges we have ahead of us.

“I have heard so much too about the Rangers supporters and I cannot wait to play in front of them for the first time."
