Celts convinced me to join Gers - Capucho

Rangers target Nuno Capucho has admitted Celtic supporters have convinced him a move to Glasgow is right.

The FC Porto forward helped his club to win the UEFA Cup with a 3-2 win over the Hoops in Seville last month.

Now Capucho, who also aided his club’s Portuguese Cup triumph yesterday against Uniao Leiria, is determined to experience the same atmosphere as he begins further negotiations with the Light Blues.

He told the Scottish Sun: “I knew I wanted to play in British football after I played for Porto in the UEFA Cup final against Celtic.

“The passion of the Scottish supporters was incredible. When I was told I had the chance to join Rangers, I didn’t hesitate.

“I know the Rangers fans are every bit as passionate as their big rivals and I can’t wait to experience that atmosphere at Ibrox.

“I’ll never forget the noise and the atmosphere in the UEFA Cup final.

“It was fantastic and Celtic made people realise the strength of Scottish football.

“That passion from the supporters is a big bonus for foreign players coming to Scotland.

“It will give me a real thrill to play in front of passionate fans like that every week.”
