Rangers have secured the signing of experienced defender Godfrey, who expressed confidence in his ability to thrive at the club and contribute both on and off the pitch. The 28-year-old lauded the club’s history and stature, highlighting the importance of embracing the pressure that comes with representing a side of Rangers’ magnitude.

Godfrey emphasized the value of hard work and leadership, noting his commitment to supporting younger players by sharing insights from his diverse career, which has included both high points and challenges. He acknowledged the club’s focus on securing players with the right character, aligning with manager McInnes’s strategy to foster a unified squad aiming to advance the club’s ambitions.

The defender also touched on his international career, recalling his two senior appearances for England under Gareth Southgate five years ago. While Rangers remain his primary focus, he expressed a continued desire to represent his country, acknowledging that strong club performances increase the likelihood of national team selection. He referenced the presence of current Rangers players competing at the World Cup as evidence that international recognition is attainable.

Manager McInnes praised Godfrey’s impressive career and character, expressing confidence that the new signing will be a positive influence in the squad. “Even at my age now, there’s still plenty I can learn from him. I’ll give my all for him every day and in every game,” McInnes said.

In other developments, Rangers have confirmed plans to conduct their pre-season training camp in Spain next week, moving away from previous arrangements to hold the camp in Austria under former manager Danny Rohl. Currently, the squad has only one scheduled friendly match against West Ham on July 26, shortly before the start of the Premiership season with a fixture at Dundee United. To maintain competitive readiness, McInnes has organized several closed-door games and intends to intensify training during the Spanish camp.
