Ryan Naderi insists he's raring to go in a Rangers shirt after securing his move to Ibrox.
The frontman, 22, signed for the Scottish Premiership giants from Hansa Rostock late on deadline day. After initially agreeing a £3m move for the summer, Danny Rohl managed to get his top striker target with an improved offer of just over £4.5m.
Naderi, who has come from the third tier of German football, could make his debut in tomorrow night's league match against Kilmarnock on home soil.
And he can't wait to meet the fans as he realises his dream of pulling on a Rangers shirt.
💙 "I'm really proud to wear this jersey...it's an unbelievable honour to be in this situation"

"It's hard to describe, I'm just really proud to wear this jersey," he told Rangers TV. "I'm excited to meet all of the players and staff, and can't wait to stand on the pitch.
"We first came in contact a few weeks ago, and for me it was clear that I definitely wanted to do it. I was really excited, I talked to my parents, my whole family, who were all excited too.
"It's an unbelievable honour to be in this situation. I'm really hungry and I want to get started now.
"He [Rohl] is a super nice person first of all. I really enjoyed the communication. I think it's a big thing that I can come here and have someone I can speak German to, someone who will help me easily.
"I had some impressions already on how he wants to play, and how I suit his system. It's a really good match. I'm ready to go to the next step and get some silverware.
"I will try to adapt very quickly. I'm happy to accept this challenge. I'll fight for the wins.

"I've had some ups and downs in my career. My way wasn't just straight up. I had times when I didn't start where I had to be strong mentally. I develop really well and I'm ready to make the next step to achieve things.
"Support is one of the biggest things in football. I'll fight for every ball and will give my best on the pitch to help us win games.
"I'm a physical striker. I'm able to keep the ball and have good movement without the ball and technique. Of course, I'm here to score goals."
