Juhani Ojala is looking forward to getting stuck into the Premiership with Motherwell, and is eying their clashes with Rangers.
In particular, he's relishing the prospect of crossing swords again with striker Alfredo Morelos.
Ojala, 32, was with SJK in his native Finland in 2016 when he came up against Colombian Morelos in a cup final, and admits that's the type of striker that he likes to play against.
He might get that opportunity when Graham Alexander takes his side to Ibrox in September.
The Finland international has kept tabs on Morelos's career since he moved to Rangers in 2017, and says he could see the qualities he had back in 2016.
Ojala ended up on the winning side, and says he hopes to meet the striker, having signed a two-year deal at Fir Park.
He said: "I played against him in one game — it was a cup final in 2016 and we won on penalties.
“He was playing for HJK and I was with SJK.
“I played against him and he was a really good player then. He’s done really well at Rangers and he’s a strong guy.
“He was a difficult opponent because he was strong and a good finisher, he knew how to take chances.
“He actually scored in the cup final. It ended up 1-1 and went to penalties.
“We won the penalties."
Ojala added: "That's the type of battle I relish - why not? Maybe he has developed even more. It would be nice to meet him.
“I knew he was doing well for Rangers and I followed how he was doing.”
