Pedro Mendes has waxed lyrical about his time at Rangers - and told how his former team-mates tried "killing with him DRINK" after his first game.
Mendes had enjoyed spells at Tottenham and Portsmouth prior to his move to Glasgow, becoming renowned for his ability to score from distance and boasting the aura of a maestro in the middle of midfield. Joining Rangers for £3million in 2008, the Portugal star immediately etched his name into Light Blues' folklore - winning the Man of the Match award on his debut against Hearts before scoring in the Old Firm derby against Celtic just two weeks later; winning the BBC Player of the Year later that season and scoring in the title-winning game in May.
And the Guimaraes-born star has detailed all about his move to Rangers - including a night out after his debut where his teammates "tried to kill him" with beer. Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, he said: "The story of how I signed for Rangers is unbelievable. I took my wife to London on the Tuesday for a couple of days as we were not due to train until Thursday.
