Jordan Jones will join Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2019.

Jones recently signed a pre-contract agreement with Rangers and will move the Gers in the summer of 2019.
The winger will join Rangers on a free transfer after his current deal with Scottish Premiership rivals Kilmarnock runs out at the end of the season.
After the decision was made public, the 24-year-old Northern Ireland international made a post on Twitter expressing his delight at the prospective move to Rangers (click here to read more).
Kilmarnock fans were not happy with the post and criticised the youngster on Twitter (click here to read more), and Jones has explained why he posted the tweet.
Jones told The Scottish Sun: “I wasn’t surprised by the fans’ reaction. It’s part and parcel of football. Some of it’s a bit over the top, the threats and things, but that’s social media.
“I was a bit over-excited, but to go from being told I had no future in football three years ago to this was a proud day.”
Understandable
Jones is one of the best wingers in the Scottish Premiership, and one can understand why he was so emotional when he signed a pre-contract with Rangers.
Kilmarnock fans, though, should be confident that the winger will give his best for the rest of the season and help the team maintain their challenge for the league title.
