Bajrami 'here to win trophies' with Rangers

Nedim Bajrami aims to "adapt as fast as possible" to help Rangers succeed after joining late in the transfer window.

The 25-year-old Albania winger beat the deadline but was not registered in time to face Celtic two days later, with his new team-mates sustaining their first Scottish Premiership loss this season.

Bajrami has arrived from Sassuolo, relegated from Italy's top flight, having featured at Euro 2024 for his country.

"First of all, I just wanted to adapt as fast as possible," he said before Sunday's league trip to face Dundee United.

"My goal here is to win trophies, to do my best for the team, for the fans and then this year we have also the Europa League to do our best there and to look forward to game by game."

Bajrami spoke to former Empoli team-mate Liam Henderson and Josh Doig of Sassuolo, both Scots, about joining Rangers.

"I just signed on the last day of the transfer window and it was a really stressful day," he explained. "I was really happy to join Rangers, such a great club with history.

"Then I immediately went into the national team, so I didn't meet everyone on deadline day. I just played two games with Albania national team and, yeah, I'm ready.

"I'm a player who likes to play forward, who likes to assist to help the team to score. I can play also on the left wing, but my favourite position is the 10 behind the strikers.

"With Liam, I didn't speak a lot because he played for Celtic, but we are good friends. I spoke more with Josh and he told me, 'you will love it there and not just the football but the life'."

Bajrami scored Albania's opener in their 2-1 loss to Italy during Euro 2024 and he commented: "To play in the Euros for me was a really nice experience. I didn't know that I had scored the fastest goal at the Euros, they told me after the game.

"I was happy because to break a record after 20 years. I hope it stays forever, but you never know in football."
