Ben Davies lifts lid on tour around Ibrox and hails 'incredible' size of Rangers

Ben Davies lifts lid on tour around Ibrox and hails 'incredible' size of Rangers

BEN DAVIES has hailed the 'incredible' size of Rangers as a club.

The defender, 26, joined Rangers on a four-year deal from Liverpool on Tuesday.

A fee of around £3million was agreed between the clubs, with Calvin Bassey on the verge of his move to Ajax.

Davies waved hello to the Ibrox faithful for the first time tonight prior to the club's 3-1 victory over West Ham.

He will be vying for a place in Giovanni van Bronckhorst's back four.

And he admits he can't wait to get started in Glasgow.

He told RangersTV: "The size of the club, everyone said to me I wouldn’t realise it until I got here. I’ve just done a tour now and it’s incredible.

"I’m just about to turn 27 and I want to turn what I think has been a good career into a great one. I’ve got my best years in front of me now.

“All my career, I’ve looked to take different opportunities. Going out on loan, taking moves when they've come about and not just staying in my comfort zone. That’s going to help me going forward. I think this is the best place possible for me. The expectation, levels and standards that the club has are exceptional and that can only bring the best out of me.

“I’ve obviously seen Ibrox on TV but this is the first time I’ve been here. It’s like when you first go up the steps when you go to your first game. Wow. And that was with an empty stadium so I’m looking forward to the fans coming in and the rest of the season.”
