Glasgow Rangers signing Graham Dorrans will be a success at Ibrox, says Celtic fan and West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass.

West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass has told The Daily Record that Graham Dorrans will be a success at Rangers.

Scottish Premiership giants Rangers have recently completed the signing of Dorrans from Norwich City in the Championship in England.

According to The Scottish Sun, the Gers had to pay Norwich a transfer fee of £1.5 million in order to secure the services of the former West Bromwich Albion midfielder.

Snodgrass, who is 29 years of age and is a Celtic fan, has backed Dorrans to be a success for Pedro Caixinha’s Rangers at Ibrox.

The West Ham winger played with Dorrans at Livingston and is teammates with him at the Scotland national football team.

“Firstly I’m delighted he’s got a move to his boyhood club,” Snodgrass told The Daily Record about Dorrans. “He will be a great signing for Rangers.

“He’s a quiet boy. He will let his football do the talking. I don’t know much about the new signings but Graham is definitely the best signing Rangers have made in a long time.”

“He’ll take to it like a duck to water,” added Snodgrass. “As long as he doesn’t do it against Celtic because then I would be cursing him.

“We always had banter along with James McArthur when we were younger. The two of them are mad Rangers fans and I’m a mad Celtic fan.”

Dorrans is a very good midfielder and has a lot of experience; the former West Brom man should prove to be a brilliant signing for Rangers.

The Scotland international will be a key player in the Gers’ quest to challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title next season.
