WarburtonMark Warburton has been telling potential recruits that he expects to be in the Champions League in three years time!

Yesterday Warbo completed his third signing when he lured Wes Foderingham to the Championship outfit after the keeper was given a free transfer by Swindon Town.

Dave Murray established the tradition of spin and moonbeams at Ibrox but the former Rangers (IL) chief would surely have struggled to keep a straight face if he was to suggest that the debt ridden club could be hosting Barcelona or AC Milan in a few years time.

After a summer on the scrapheap Foderingham eagerly signed a three year deal, with a one year option, and was only too happy to share the detail of his negotiations with Warbo who used to work as a city trader.

He just said he’s got a three-year plan,” the former Swindon goalie revealed about his negotiations with the 52-year-old rookie manager. “Get out of the Championship, challenge in the SPL and obviously get into the Champions League.

That suits me down to the ground. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get into Europe and hopefully we can get there within three years.

The long-term vision is what made me choose Rangers. This is a massive club – the most successful in the world trophies-wise, and I just wanted to come to be a part of that.

We want to get back to the Premiership and challenge, and there is European football beyond that too. If I joined a Championship side, I wouldn’t get that opportunity.”

Foderingham is expected to make his Sevco debut away to Hibs in the Petrofac Training Cup which was won last season by Livingston.

The public sale of Sevco season tickets is expected to begin this week with fans eager to see Foderingham in action alongside Danny Wilson and former Accrington starlet Rob Kiernan.
