John Lundstram and Borna Barisic explain Rangers transfer exits for Trabzonspor

The former Rangers duo touched down in Turkey together ahead of signing for the Super Lig outfit, both having passed medicals on Sunday before being welcome warmly by a throng of fans and media at the airport. Lundstram had previously admitted that he felt the pain of failing to lift a league title in his three years at Ibrox. One of his last acts as a Rangers player was a being sent off moments after scoring an own goal in a crunch title clash at Celtic Park.

Now he's set to continue his career in Turkey and admitted that advice from Ridvan Yilmaz, as well as Barisic who had already been in contact with the Turkish club, helped make up his mind. He said: "I am incredibly happy, such a warm welcome made me extremely happy. I can't wait to start. "The transfer went very easily. Thanks to Borna, the first call came, he said that the coach and the club liked me. We talked and I said 'let's go there'. Rıdvan "I talked to my friend Yılmaz, I had information about the city and the fans before,"

Barisic added: "I am incredibly happy. We did not expect such a warm welcome. We are very excited to be here. The transfer process was very easy. It was completed quickly. Because the intention of both parties was for a positive outcome. "When I received a phone call from Trabzonspor, I signed up here. I said I wanted to wear it, and the process went well. My jersey number is not yet clear."
