Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers signed Bruno Alves in the summer transfer window when Pedro Caixinha was in charge of the Gers.

GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - OCTOBER 22:Bruno Alves of Rangers tackles All Campbell of Motherwell during the Betfred Cup Semi Final at Hampden Park on October 22, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to recent comments made by Bruno Alves about his future.

Alves, who joined Rangers in the summer transfer window when Pedro Caixinha was in charge of the Gers, has suggested that he could leave the Ibrox club in the January transfer window if he is not playing regularly.

The central defender arrived at Ibrox in the summer with a strong reputation, but there have been occasions this season when under caretaker-manger Graeme Murty he has been left out of the team.

The 36-year-old former FC Porto and Zenit Saint Petersburg centre-back has suggested that he would look at his situation, as he wants to cement his place in the Portugal national football team for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia next summer.

“I also respect all the other players who are fighting for the position, but I have my own ambition,” Alves told The Telegraph. “I am still playing for the national team and I need to play.

“We have a World Cup soon and I need to play and be fit. This is important for me, not just to help Rangers, but I also want to help myself to go to the World Cup.

“I like to play. If I don’t have space here or if I don’t play, I need to think about my future or about what’s going to happen next. I am happy playing.”

Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to recent comments made by Alves about his future.
