Glasgow Rangers signing Jason Cummings has told the club’s official website he cannot wait to face rivals Celtic.

Cummings signed for Rangers yesterday on loan until the end of the season and hopes to become a fan favourite at Ibrox.

The striker joins from Nottingham Forest, where he was signed by ex-Gers manager Mark Warburton, who ended up getting sacked in December.

Cummings said that playing for Rangers against Celtic will help him lift his game, as he feels he is a big match player.

He said: “I love playing in bigger games, and the bigger the game is, it motivates me more. There are a lot of big games in this league, especially the Old Firm games.

“Something I have always wanted to do since I can remember is to play in an Old Firm game and I can’t wait to be part of one.”

Cummings added that he hopes Rangers can chase down Celtic, adding: “Obviously as a team we want to push Celtic as much as we can.”

Rangers’ next league match against Celtic is on March 10 at Ibrox.

Rangers are currently 11 points behind Celtic but are high on confidence after holding the league leaders to a draw.

The Gers have appointed Graeme Murty as manager until the end of the season and he has brought in Sean Goss and Jamie Murphy also on loan deals.
