Jordan Jones caused controversy at the start of the year when he announced his decision to join Rangers.

He has now linked up with his new side and left Kilmarnock behind.

Jones helped Killie qualify for the Europa League at the end of last season.

Already his former side are out, while Jones’ Rangers are flying.

Rangers won their Europa qualifying tie 10-0 on aggregate against St Joseph’s.

Meanwhile Kilmarnock suffered an embarrassing defeat to Welsh side Connah’s Quay Nomads, losing 2-0 at home and 3-2 on aggregate.

It was a shocking loss, and underlines Jones made the right choice.

Angelo Alessio the head coach

Even more important to losing Jones, Kilmarnock lost manager Steve Clarke who took the Scotland job.

His replacement Angelo Alessio has run into trouble already.

Now Jones’ Rangers face Progres Niederkorn in the next round, hoping to exact revenge for a defeat the Ibrox side suffered two years ago.

Jordan Jones of Rangers is seen in action during the pre season friendly match between Rangers and Oxford United  at Ibrox Stadium on July 07, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.
