Rae out to win Ibrox hearts

Scotland international Gavin Rae admitted Rangers fans were not dancing in the streets when they heard he was coming from Dundee.

The 26-year-old is regarded as one of the solid grafters of the Scottish top-flight rather than a flair player who delights crowds.

But Rae was determined to make an impact nonetheless – and used ex-Dens Park team-mate Zura Khizanishvili as role model.

He said: “I know I may not be the glamorous signing that the fans wanted, but I try not to let things like that affect me.

“I just need to concentrate on what I know I can achieve and I am determined to make a success of this move.

“Just look at Zura, he was not perhaps the signing the fans had hoped for, but he has done well for Rangers and hopefully I can do the same.”
