Former Rangers star blown away by 'passion of the supporters' in Indian league

Former Rangers striker Jason Cummings has hinted he could extend his stay in India after admitting he's been blown away with the football and lifestyle there.

The former Scotland international, who switched allegiances to play for Australia, signed for Mohun Bagan last year after a successful stint at Central Coast Mariners.

And, after netting the winning goal in their last game against Chennaiyin, the 29-year-old admits he's loving every minute of his time in Kolkata.

He said: "I really enjoy it here. Both the football and the way of life.

"It's amazing to see the passion of the fans and their dedication. It drives me to perform better.

"The fans have been incredible, welcoming me with open arms and making me feel at home. Their chants, energy, and belief in us inspire me every time I step onto the pitch.

"At the end of the day, football is football anywhere in the world - two goals, one ball, and my job as a striker is the same wherever I play.

"I have really embraced the Indian culture.

"The flavours in Indian food are unique and amazing. My girlfriend and I enjoy exploring different food and we love travelling across the region.

"My bond with football and the country of India continues to grow."
