Rangers travel to take on Kilmarnock on Wednesday evening.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told Rangers TV that he is treating Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones as the ‘enemy’ – despite him having agreed to sign for the Gers.
The Gers return to league action on Wednesday night, as they travel to take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in a crucial game.
Rangers went joint-top of the Scottish Premiership last time out with a 1-0 win over Celtic, but remain just one point clear of Kilmarnock.
Steve Clarke’s men deserve to be considered in the title race too, and tomorrow’s clash between the two sides promises to be a strange encounter for one player.
Kilmarnock winger Jones is a key player for Clarke’s side, but he has agreed a pre-contract agreement to join Rangers at the end of the season.
With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Jones has decided to head to Ibrox, meaning he will take on his future teammates tomorrow.
The 24-year-old will be looking to put the move to one side for tomorrow’s game, and Rangers boss Gerrard has been asked about the wide man.
Gerrard praised Jones as a ‘threat’ because of his pace and end product, but added that he is seeing the Northern Ireland international as ‘the enemy’ until he is a Rangers player.
“Jordan will always be a threat because of his pace,” said Gerrard. “He’s very direct, he’s capable of scoring and assisting goals. We’re well aware of Jordan but where we stand right now is that he’s a Kilmarnock player, so he’s the enemy, he’s the rival and that’s the way we’ll treat him,” he added.
