Bruno Alves has admitted to the Daily Record that he has been amazed by Glasgow Rangers supporters since arriving at Ibrox.

Alves may have represented the likes of Porto and Fenerbahce during his glistening career at the top level.

However, the Portuguese defender admits that Rangers fans have impressed him with their loyalty since he arrived in Glasgow.

“We are always playing in a full stadium. It’s amazing,” Alves said. “Even in away games, we have a lot of support, but sometimes with a big team there is pressure, especially when we concede goals.

“We need to know how to handle the pressure because the pressure will always be there for the big teams.”

Rangers felt the weight of that pressure at the weekend, as they were beaten 3-1 by St. Johnstone.

The Light Blues could not continue their recent good form, as the deficiencies in their squad were exposed again.

Rangers actually went into the game with momentum behind them, but the Ibrox crowd left frustrated.

Graeme Murty’s side have now sunk down to third in the Scottish Premiership table, with Aberdeen moving ahead of them again.

Rangers are next in action on Saturday against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
