Mikey Moore has insisted his decision to join Rangers was an easy one, as he revealed a family connection to the club.
The Tottenham Hotspur wonderkid signed a season-long loan switch to Ibrox, opting to move to Govan over significant interest elsewhere.
Moore's move is still subject to clearance, which is expected to be a delayed process due to the player still being under-18, so a debut will not be immediate.

After signing his deal, Moore revealed his family has held a long-term affinity for Rangers.
“I’m excited to get going," he told club media. "As soon as I heard Rangers were interested and wanted me to come, it was a massive opportunity for me.
“I’m excited to be here and hopefully I can show the fans and everyone what I can do.
“I’ve always loved Rangers as a club. My family have always loved them.
“I think with the new boss and the way that we play, it’s a great place to be at the minute. It was a pretty easy decision for me to come here.”

Moore also spoke with former coach at Spurs Jermain Defoe before heading to Ibrox. And after a short conversation he was convinced of a move to Glasgow.
He said: "As soon as Rangers came in, I spoke to Jermain Defoe, who had a bit of a spell up here, and he absolutely loved it.
"As soon as I called him, he said, 'If you have got an opportunity to go to Rangers, you take that'.
"When I first heard, I thought the exact same thing, so speaking to him was massive for me. He only said good things about the club and the people."
