JAMES SANDS is confident Rangers will bring out the best in him after clinching an 18-month loan deal to join the champions.
Sands has become Giovanni van Bronckhorst's first signing as manager and makes the move from Major League Soccer outfit New York City.
The 21-year-old lifted the MLS Cup under the guidance of former Celtic boss Ronny Deila last month and will now bid for Premiership glory this term.
And Sands - who can operate in both midfield and defence - is eager to get down to business with Van Bronckhorst's side ahead of the resumption of the top flight title race later this month.
Sands said: “I’m very excited to be joining Rangers Football Club.
"It is an incredible opportunity for me to join a club with such a winning history and worldwide fan base.
“Additionally, I’m looking forward to joining an ambitious and talented group of players and coaches. I am certain that Rangers will progress me as both a player and as a person.
“I would also like to thank NYCFC for the role they have played in my development so far. I have and continue to receive amazing support from everyone involved with the club.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
