Rangers have got themselves a gem in Scott Arfield, according to fans of the new Ibrox recruit’s former club, Burnley.

Arfield called time on his five-year Burnley career earlier this week to become the first signing Steven Gerrard era signing at Rangers.

But despite him walking out on the Clarets, you would be hard pressed to find a bad word said about the Livingston-born Canadian winger – as evidenced by the replies to his parting message on Twitter.

Rangers supporters should need little encouragement to get behind Arfield, who is himself a lifelong Gers fan.

The 29-year-old has previously played for Falkirk in Scotland, before heading south of the border with Huddersfield Town at the start of the decade.

Scott Arfield of Burnley plays with his daughter Bonnie Mitchell during the Premier League match between Burnley and AFC Bournemouth at Turf Moor on May 13, 2018 in Burnley, England.

He later won promotion with the Terriers, and did likewise twice with Burnley – albeit to the Premier League, where he played 86 times, scoring or creating eight goals.
