John Lundstram reveals the 'don't hesitate' Rangers advice that sold him on Ibrox switch as he gushes over Steven Gerrard

New Rangers signing John Lundstram reveals John Fleck told him to grab his Ibrox opportunity with both hands.

The midfielder has joined the Premiership champions on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal on Monday.

The 27-year-old was previously at Sheffield United alongside Rangers youth product John Fleck, who wasted no time in talking up his former club.

And when that was combined with the draw of childhood hero Steven Gerrard, there was never going to be any doubt in the Scouser's mind.

Lundstram told Rangers TV: "I had a walk around and it was an eye-opener to how big it was and I can’t wait to get started now.

"(I was attracted by) the size of the club and the gaffer. Speaking to Steven was a massive draw for me, I was speaking to Flecky and people like that and he said ‘don’t hesitate to get up there’ and that.

I’m made up to get it over the line and hopefully I can contribute to a bit of success.

"Every Liverpool fan growing up idolised Steven, that’s the way it was in Liverpool. To speak to him and for someone like him to want me was massive.

"I want to learn from him and I’m coming into my prime and hopefully I can play my best football here and I’m sure he can help me."
