Rangers completed a loan deal to sign midfielder Andy King last night.

Manager Steven Gerrard has told the club’s official website he is delighted to get the deal done.

Steven Gerrard explained that in early conversations with King, he saw the player’s desire to sign for Rangers.

He added that King is not expecting to just walk straight into the Rangers starting line up.

Both of these things are positives where Rangers are concerned.

Gerrard said: “When I spoke to him this evening he was very hungry to come and compete and fight for his place.

“He understands he has got to work hard to get opportunities so for the club and myself it is positive news.”

King stands a better chance of playing at Rangers than he did at Leicester City.

This is a good new challenge for him, and one where he has a chance to win another title.

King has won the League One, Championship and Premier League titles during his career with the Foxes.

Winning the league with Rangers would go down as another great achievement.
