Winger Weiss is right for Gers
Rangers have won the race to sign Vladimir Weiss, with the Manchester City winger joining the Scottish champions on a one-year loan deal Slovakia international Weiss arrived in Glasgow earlier on Thursday to complete the move, having also been linked with Old Firm rivals Celtic, as well as Stuttgart and Sampdoria - and will be presented on Friday.Slovakia star Weiss was taken to the club's Murray Park training complex where the deal was finalised with Rangers chief executive Martin Bain.The highly-rated 20-year-old is now set to go straight into the squad for Sunday's SPL clash with Hibernian at Easter Road.He found himself in demand after impressing at the World Cup in South Africa this summer and his capture will be seen as a major coup for the Light Blues.He becomes Walter Smith's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of James Beattie from Stoke last week.Weiss revealed the lure of Champions League football convinced him to choose Rangers over Celtic and other suitors.Weiss told Rangers TV: "As soon as I got this offer I was really interested."I had a few offers, including from Italy and Germany, and then the offer from Rangers came and to play for a big team like this will be a pleasure for me."I aim to do my best and hopefully we will have a good season."Celtic came in for me first but then Rangers came in and when I looked through all of the offers that I had, I picked Rangers."The fact that Rangers are in the Champions League was obviously a big incentive for me. Every player wants to play in the Champions League so it's a great opportunity for me."I hope we get an interesting group and that we do really well."Weiss revealed a taste of Ibrox last year also played a part."Of course I played against Rangers last season when Man City came to Ibrox for a pre-season friendly and I really enjoyed that," he added."It was almost a full house that night and it's a great stadium to play in. The fans are incredible, which is another reason why I chose Rangers."The year before that I played at Murray Park in a reserve game so I knew about the great facilities that Rangers have."
