Glasgow Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has told Rangers TV that Vladimir Weiss has told him that the Ibrox side’s supporters will love his passion.

Weiss and Caixinha know each other from their time at Al-Ghafara together recently.

And prior to his move to Glasgow, Caixinha asked Weiss about what to expect at Rangers.

Weiss played for the Light Blues for one season on loan during the 2010/11 campaign, and is still fondly remember at Ibrox.

And Caixinha has revealed that Weiss still speaks very positively about Rangers.

“He told me two simple words: Massive club, which you are going to enjoy. He said you are going to enjoy the fans, and I know you are a very passionate guy and they’ll love that you act like that,” Caixinha said. “I need to keep me identity like that, and he wished me all the best regarding this new challenge.”

Caixinha was in attendance yesterday, as Rangers picked up a 1-1 draw against Celtic at Parkhead.

Rangers put in a spirited performance against their Glasgow rivals, and were rewarded when Clint Hill scored a late equaliser.

Rangers are still 33 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table, but Caixinha has expressed a desire to close that gap next term already.
