Rangers winger Jordan Jones has finally started his Ibrox career.
Rangers winger Jordan Jones has told The Scottish Sun that Kris Boyd has really helped him in terms of adjusting to the Ibrox faithful.
Back in January, Rangers struck pre-contract agreements with both Jones and Glen Kamara, but were able to bring in midfielder Kamara from Dundee immediately.
They were forced to wait for Jones though, as he saw out the season with Kilmarnock before making his move to Ibrox this summer.
The Northern Ireland international has secured a dream move given that his family are Rangers mad, and he’ll be looking to thrive under Steven Gerrard.
Many players over the years have found the step up to Rangers difficult, as their fans are often hugely demanding in terms of winning trophies, with their behaviour under the microscope like never before.
Jones did annoy Kilmarnock fans in January though by celebrating his Rangers move on social media when he still had months to go at Rugby Park, and ex-Gers star Boyd helped him.
Jones has admitted that Boyd has told him all about how things off the pitch are so important now he’s a Rangers player, telling him to be careful what he posts on social media now Rangers fans are watching his every move.
Boyd also told him about the demands of the Rangers fans to win trophies and enjoy success at Ibrox, with Jones realising just how much he’s in the spotlight now he’s stepped up from Kilmarnock to Rangers.
“I’ve realised how magnified everything is since I signed in January,” said Jones. “Boydy has really helped me. He was telling me just about things more off the pitch than on the pitch. He was telling me about the demands from the fans to win trophies and little things like Instagram, Snapchat . . . just to be careful really,” he added.
