EDUARDO HERRERA admits the lure of Ibrox was too great to turn down after he completed his move to Rangers on a three-year deal.

The striker was joined in Glasgow by Mexican compatriot Carlos Pena on Thursday night as they became the seventh and eighth signings of the summer for boss Pedro Caixinha.

It has been a productive close season for the Portuguese as he has overhauled his squad ahead of the Gers’ return to the Europa League next week.

Herrera has been registered for the clash with Progres Niederkorn and could make his debut in a new-look Light Blues line-up.

The 28-year-old worked with Caixinha during a loan stint at Santos Laguna three years ago and he is determined to help bring success back to Ibrox this term.

He told RangersTV: “I am really happy to be here at such a big club and I am ready to be a part of this project.

“I didn’t think twice about joining, it is a big club, it is a club which has a lot of history of winning titles and I think it’s very important for a player to be ambitious and join a club like that.

“Pedro was important because he called me and he told me if I wanted to join him here at Rangers I could.

“The club and the history is very important to me, I looked up the stadium, Ibrox, and it is an amazing stadium. When I imagined playing there it was a big part of my decision to come here.

“I will bring a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice and hopefully a lot of goals. Playing as a striker you also look to score goals but first of all I will try to do my best and work every hard for the team.

“I am a centre-forward and I like to be in the opposition box looking for a chance to score. I am used to playing as a target man, to have the ball and support my team and other players in those types of situations.”
