Rangers have completed their first signing in the Steven Gerrard era, nabbing Scott Arfield from Burnley on a free transfer.

Arfield was out of contract at Burnley this summer. He has agreed a four-year-deal that will see him spend the next few years in Glasgow.

He spent the past five seasons at Burnley, but the time for change had arrived.

Gerrard said in a statement: "I am delighted to have added Scott Arfield to the squad for next season. He is a talented and competitive midfielder who has competed at a high level in the English Premiership and internationally for Canada.

"It's pleasing also that we have been able to start our rebuilding process so quickly after the end of the season. There is much more to be done of course as we look to build towards our Europa League campaign which will start in early July."

"When a club of this magnitude comes in for you it is a no brainer," said Arfield in the statement.

"I'm excited to work with Gerrard, if you don't get excited by it you shouldn't walk through the front door. It has gave a boost to the whole game in this country."
