Simon Ferry has hailed Rangers capture of Tom Lawrence as a 'statement' signing.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst moved to bring in the former Derby County man as he continues his summer rebuild in his attempts to win back the Premiership title from rivals Celtic this season. He's one of a host of stars including Antonio Colak and Rabbi Matondo who have pitched up at Ibrox this summer, and former Hoops man reckons the Light Blues' European exploits last term would've been a big pull for the midfielder.
Speaking on behalf of Grosvenor Sport, the Open Goal Broomhill FC boss said: "Tom Lawrence is a statement signing from Rangers. He can play anywhere across the front three and is a great replacement for Joe Aribo. Seeing Rangers in Europe last year would've been a big pull. Players would've seen the atmosphere at Ibrox and looked at the calibre of the teams they beat last year and probably thought they were fed up with the Championship and wanted to play in European finals.
