Rangers have completed the signing of Andy King, announcing the deal last night after he was pictured at Ibrox.

King, 30, is a top professional and Rangers are getting a player willing to put the team first.

The long-serving Leicester star showed his professionalism when he lost his squad number to Foxes ace James Maddison.

King went from having the number 10 shirt to a non-descript 37, but had no ill feeling.

He told The Times how he sent Maddison a message saying: “It suits you mate, I hope it brings you as much pride, success and happiness as it did for me.”

It was a classy touch from the Wales international and shows the high integrity teammate Rangers are bringing in.

Perhaps its easy for King to be willing to step aside when he has already reached the peak of his career, winning the Premier League title.

But that’s just why he needs the move to Rangers, to give himself a fresh challenge,

Rangers are desperate to deny Celtic yet another title and win their first since winning promotion back to the top flight.

King could be an asset at Rangers, and it is what he needs too, to head to a club where he can feel important again.
