Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers unveiled Jordan Jones on Sunday.

Jordan Jones has told Rangers TV that some of his Northern Ireland team-mates have been telling him all about the Ibrox club.

Rangers unveiled the 24-year-old winger as a Gers player on Sunday.

Jones originally joined the Glasgow giants in January, but remained at Kilmarnock for the second half of last season.

Despite only joining Steven Gerrard’s side, Jones won’t be short of mates. He knows Gareth McAuley, Steven Davis and Kyle Lafferty from playing with his country.

Asked by Rangers TV what the trio have told him about the club, Jones revealed that Davis has taken him under his wing – and that prankster Lafferty is ‘a bit of a joke’.

“Everything you want to know really! Davo has always been really good with me since I went into the Northern Ireland team,” he said.

“So has Gareth and Laff is a bit of a joke but to be fair all three of them have been really good. They’ve been looking forward to me coming and I’m looking forward to joining up with them.”

Lafferty got his dream move to his boyhood club last summer, but the season passed him by for the most part.

The 31-year-old, who had a previous spell at Ibrox, only managed six goals from 28 games across all competitions for Gerrard’s side.

It’s a disappointing return for a striker and it’ll be a surprise if Lafferty – who’s behind Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe in the pecking order – plays alongside Jones for the light Blues in a competitive game.
