Rangers new boy Nnamdi Ofoborh says he can’t wait to get a crack at the Champions League with Steven Gerrard’s side next season.
The Bournemouth midfielder, who has signed a pre-contract deal at Ibrox for the summer, is excited about the prospect of joining the Premiership title-winners-elect.
If Gerrard’s men clinch their first league flag in a decade, Ofoborh and his new team-mates will have crucial Champions League qualifiers to look forward to in July.
And having dreamt about playing in the tournament since he was a kid, the 21-year-old is desperate to sample it at Gers.
Ofoborh who has signed a four-year deal to follow Cherries team-mate Jack Simpson to Ibrox, told MailSport: “It has always been a dream for me to play in the Champions League.
“I’m a person who has confident in my ability and I’ve been through a lot already in my career.
“But I always told my friends that one day I’ll play in that tournament. If I get that chance at Rangers, I’ll have done it way earlier than I expected.
“It would be a massive achievement for me.
“I’m buzzing about the move. It’s still a bit surreal to me that I’m actually joining a club like Rangers.
“I just can’t wait to get up there, get started and do what I need to do.”
Ofoborh was born in England but has chosen to represent Nigeria on the international stage.
He’s played for the Super Eagles’ Under-20s but knows all about the game here in Scotland.
He added: “I know all about Rangers.
“I grew up watching any game of football I could get my hands on.
“I just love football, it’s always been my thing. If
I’m not playing it, then I am watching it.
“I remember watching the Old Firm matches.
“I’ve spoken to a lot of people about the fans up there [in Scotland] not just in the Old Firm game but
in general.
“It’s a sell-out crowd and to play in front of 50,000 supporters will be really incredible for me.”
