Graeme Murty’s Glasgow Rangers have brought Sean Goss to Ibrox from Queens Park Rangers in the January transfer window.

Queens Park Rangers striker Jamie Mackie has revealed to The Scottish Sun how Sean Goss reacted when he heard about interest from Ibrox club Rangers.

Rangers have signed Goss from QPR in the Championship in England in the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old former Manchester United prospect has made the switch to the Gers on loan from QPR until the end of the season.

The midfielder joined the London club from the Red Devils in January 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £500,000.

Mackie, who can operate as a striker or as a winger and is 32 years of age, has revealed how Goss reacted when he heard about interest from Scottish Premiership giants Rangers.

“I don’t think Gossy even had to think about it when the call came,” Mackie told The Scottish Sun. “When he was told Rangers had come in, it was a case of ‘Get the car started, let’s go’. I don’t think he could fill the car up with petrol quickly enough.

“The only thing I said to him was he should take a good look at the sun before he goes because he’s not going to see much of it up there.

“Gossy asked me to speak to Clint about the move and he gave me good advice to pass on,” added the Scotsman.

“He talked about the mental demands as much as the physical demands and how he had to make sure he was up for it, but what an opportunity at an amazing football club.”

Meanwhile, former QPR midfielder Andy Sinton has suggested to The Glasgow Evening Times that Rangers striker Kenny Miller will help Goss to settle at Ibrox.

The 38-year-old Scottish striker is in his third spell at Rangers at the moment, and has also played for other big clubs such as Derby County and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Sinton played with Miller at Wolves, and believes that playing with him will help Goss.

“Kenny was starting out on his career when he arrived at Wolves, but you could see he had vast potential,” Sinton told The Glasgow Evening Times.

“He was a super lad and a great talent. It has been no surprise to me that he has gone on to enjoy such a great career since and that he is still playing now at a very high level at the age of 38.

“Sean can only benefit from being around somebody like that at Rangers and I am sure he will learn a lot from the experience.”
