Robbie Ure will be a tough act to replace, according to Sirius manager Andreas Engelmark, following the ex-Rangers striker completing his £8million move to Sevilla.

The Scotland Under-21s ace was in Spain to seal the big-money move to the La Liga side after a hugely successful season in Sweden.

Ure netted 15 goals in 15 appearances for the runaway league leaders, and Sevilla beat off a host of competition from European clubs to land the 22-year-old.

"It has been a very good time for him here, and we missed him in our last match against Brommapojkarna."

And Sirius captain Henrik Castegren admitted it was emotional as Ure said his farewells to the team. He said: "Robbie is a quality player who has helped us a lot.

"In my opinion, he is the best player in the Allsvenskan. It was sad when he came to see us before he went to Spain.

"It affects us in the short term when we are without a main striker, but I have full faith that we will have an effective squad when the transfer window closes."
