Rangers announced the signing of Jordan Jones on Twitter.

The Ibrox club have signed the Kilmarnock winger on a pre-contract deal and he will officially join Rangers in the summer.

Jones, a boyhood Gers fan, celebrated the news on Twitter shortly after the Glasgow giants announced it.

The 24-year-old used a ‘WATP’ hashtag in a tweet – a decision which has riled Killie fans, considering he’ll be at Rugby Park for the next five months.

Here is how they reacted:

Will Jones be a benchwarmer under Steven Gerrard? It’s entirely possible.

The left-sided winger will have fierce competition to make the Rangers manager’s first XI every week. Gerrard has Ryan Kent – who is on loan at the moment – Glenn Middleton, Eros Grezda and the injured Jamie Murphy, who will be fit by the summer.

It won’t be easy, but Jones is a fine talent and well capable of challenging those four players – if Kent stays at Ibrox.
