"I have been following Rangers a lot and know what they have achieved. The picture of me in a Rangers shirt? I got it from the guy who scouted me from Ivory Coast when I was 11-years-old. He got me the shirt and I wore it for some personal training in Ghana. The people are amazing here. It’s going amazing already, and my family are trying to move here to visit me."
