Calvin Bassey is the latest starlet to join Steven Gerrard’s attempt to stop Celtic from winning a 10th successive SPFL title.
The versatile defender is out of contract at the end of this month and has moved to Ibrox on a four year deal where he will team up with Ianis Hagi.
During his time at Leicester the 20-year-old was never given a first team squad number with no club interested in taking him out on loan.
His signing has been given big billing by friendly news outlets with The Express claiming that the magic powers of Steven Gerrard beat off interest from Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham.
