Rangers have completed the signing of USA international Matt Polster after the player underwent a trial at Ibrox – and Gers fans have reacted on Twitter.

Polster, 25, has signed a contract at Rangers until the summer of 2021, and will provide cover on the right side of Rangers defence as back-up to the likes of captain James Tavernier and Jon Flanagan.

The defender becomes the sixth American player to play for Rangers, joining defender Carlos Bocanegra, as well as midfielders DaMarcus Beasley, Maurice Edu, Alejandro Bedoya and Claudio Reyna.

Rangers confirmed on their official Twitter account that Polster, who has played 91 times for MLS side Chicago Fire as well as earning one cap for the United States, had agreed a move to the club.

Polster becomes the third player to join Rangers this month, after veteran duo Steven Davis and Jermain Defoe were brought to the side on loan from Southampton and AFC Bournemouth.

Rangers fans and coach Michael Beale reacted to the news that the club have landed Polster from Chicago Fire, with the majority keen to see their new signing in action.
