Sheyi Ojo bids Rangers farewell as on-loan Liverpool winger hails 'best fans in the world'

Sheyi Ojo has bid farewell to the "best fans in the world" as he prepares to leave Rangers.

The Liverpool winger's Ibrox loan deal expires on May 30 and he's all-but confirmed a return to Merseyside this summer.

After a promising opening, Ojo 's stint in Glasgow fizzled out and he mainly featured from the bench as the season progressed.

But it appears the Rangers faithful have left a lasting impression on the 22-year-old.

Ojo posted a compilation of his highlights on Instagram - including a memorable Europa League strike against Feyenoord - with a simple but heartfelt message to supporters.

He wrote: "Best fans in the world no doubt.

"You guys gave me love and some moments in my life I'll never forget. Thank you"

Ojo's imminent exit follows a string of confirmed Ibrox departures on Tuesday.

Andy Halliday, Wes Foderingham, Jon Flanagan, Jordan Rossiter, Jak Alnwick and Jason Holt will all leave the club at the end of May.

Boss Steven Gerrard paid tribute to the six players as they move on to pastures new and said preparations for next season were well under way.

He said: “There is a lot more that people contribute to, away from the fixtures each weekend and I commend each of the departing players for what they have given to us day in and day out.

"Work continues on a daily basis in planning and preparation for next season.”
