Lyall Cameron has pledged to return Rangers to the top of Scottish football after finally arriving at the club from Dundee.
The 22-year-old midfielder signed a pre-contract agreement in February and will now aim to become an integral part of new manager Russell Martin's side.
A Scotland Under-21 international, Cameron says no-one has to tell him of the level of expectation that's now on his shoulders.
Vowing to deliver for the Light Blue legions, he said: 'It's amazing to walk in the door, it's a privilege really. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.
'It was a no-brainer as soon as Rangers came in, I was desperate to be here. It is obviously a massive club and the history and everything about it is just amazing.
'Being from Scotland, I know what the club stands for, so I just wanted to jump at the chance.
'It is a new project, they are looking to build, improve and win leagues again and I really wanted to be a part of it.
'I want to come here, make an impression, do as well as possible and get this club back to where it belongs.'
Cameron arrives in Glasgow with more than 150 first-team games under his belt, with loans spells at Peterhead and Montrose added to his appearances for the Dundee first team.
Despite playing in a Dark Blues side who were battling relegation until the final day of the Premiership season, he delivered 14 goals and nine assists.
And he believes that impressive return gives him the confidence that he can cope with the next challenge of his career.
'From a personal perspective, my numbers were good for a midfielder, so I enjoyed it in that way,' he said, 'but it didn't come without difficult days, to be honest.
'We had quite a few bad results and we were hanging around the bottom of the league where no-one wants to be. It is a learning process and I feel like I have learned a lot of things at Dundee which can benefit me going forward in my career.
'I have played in Scotland for three years now, I know what other teams are going to bring, what it is like to go to different places, so that is a benefit for me.
'Playing for Rangers is totally different, you are dominating the ball, whereas at Dundee I was maybe not doing that as much. But it's a thing that I think suits my game, so hopefully I can show that.
'I am grateful for the support I got from the (Dundee) players, staff and fans, but it is a new project, and I think it was time for me to move on and to come to a club like this.'
Meanwhile, Rangers are hopeful of concluding deals for two transfer targets as manager Martin begins to build his squad for next season.
The Ibrox club are looking to sign Bournemouth right back Max Aarons, who spent last season on loan at Valencia, and Peterborough winger Kwame Poku.
A loan deal is the most likely possibility for Aarons, 25, who moved from Norwich to Bournemouth in a £12million transfer in 2023.
Poku's contract at Peterborough expires in a fortnight's time.
Rangers believe they are in pole position to sign the 23-year-old, despite interest from several clubs. They would pay a minimal training compensation fee to the English side should the deal go through.
