A new hero at Ibrox… Jamie Murphy has been confirmed as a Rangers player,

Jamie Murphy of Brighton in action during the pre-season friendly match between Norwich City and Brighton & Hove Albion at Carrow Road on July 29, 2017 in Norwich, England.

Jamie Murphy has completed his move from to Glasgow Rangers, the club confirmed.

Murphy has signed on loan until the end of the season, when his switch to Ibrox will become permanent.

The winger sent an emotional message to Rangers fans on Twitter, calling back to his time as a kid supporting the Gers, discussing how he is fulfilling a dream.

Murphy leaves English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion, where he has only been a bit part player this season.

Brighton signed him from Sheffield United, and he is held in high regard by their fans, evidenced by their messages on Twitter late last week when it emerged his move to Rangers was imminent.

Rangers are hoping to close the gap on Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership, and Murphy can be a big asset for them.

His passion for his boyhood club should shine through, and at 28-years-old, the former Motherwell man has plenty left to offer.
