Scott Arfield gives hilarious response to ex-Rangers teammate as he trains with new MLS club

Scott Arfield has delivered a hilarious online response to a former Rangers teammate as he gets up to speed with life at his new club Charlotte FC.

The Ibrox favourite swapped the Scottish Premiership for the MLS as he made the switch to the North Carolina club after five years in Glasgow. The 34-year-old was on of five summer exits from the Light Blues, joining Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor, Alfredo Morelos and Filip Helander.

Michael Beale admitted that losing Arfield pulled on the heart strings as he lauded the attacker who made 43 appearances in his final season at the club. Although most of that was from the bench Arfield still made a huge impact scoring in the Champions League against Liverpool and famously netting the winner in a dramatic comeback against Aberdeen.

Arfield is training ahead of his debut which has to come after July 5 when the secondary MLS transfer window opens. That opportunity could come when Charlotte head to the Big Apple for a clash with New York City FC.

His new club shared an Instagram post of Arfield decked out in a different shade of blue with the club captioning the photo "getting acquainted with the crown."

That prompted ex-teammate Ianis Hagi to comment some words of encouragement as he replied: "What a player," alongside a salute emoji.

Quick-witted Arfield returned the favour but couldn't resist a cheeky dig at his old pal. He replied: "You’re not bad yourself son. Not as good as your dad, but your not bad yourself."

Arfield referred to Hagi's dad Gheorghe Hagi who starred for Barcelona and is regarded a club legend at the Catalonia club.

The former Burnley ace joined Steven Gerrard's revolution in 2018 and helped Rangers clinch the title in 2021.

Arfield also lifted the Scottish Cup and was part of the journey to Seville in 2022 incredible Europa League run.

However it's not just his exploits on the park that Arfield is well known for.

Earlier this summer he stunned guests at his best friends wedding as he stole the show as the best man performing a tune he wrote.

The fan-favourite took to the stage with a guitar as he delivered a top performance that had guests lapping up the unique take on a traditional speech.
