Danilo helps new signing Jefte translate fan message: 'We are the people'

Rangers have signed Brazilian full-back Jefte on a four-year deal.

Now, teammate and fellow countryman Danilo has helped the 20-year-old share an iconic message to his new Glaswegian supporters.  

"We are the people," Danilo is shown saying to his Brazilian counterpart on the official Rangers Instagram, to which Jefte laughs and then repeats alongside a beaming "let's go Rangers" message. 

Danilo, of course, joined the Ibrox club last summer for a fee of around £6m before suffering a serious long-term knee injury in a 1-0 win over Hearts in December.

The 24-year-old was originally ruled out for upwards of four months, and has since shared scant insight on his recouperation via social media. 

The player underwent surgery shortly after the injury was sustained, as Philippe Clement suffered a bitter injury blow with his squad having already been in the wars this season.

Previous posts have shown Danilo using crutches to move around, but can be seen standing freely alongside his new teammate in the above footage.
