New Rangers signing Russell Martin reveals he turned down offers from Championship clubs to move to Ibrox

New Rangers signing Russell Martin has revealed he turned down offers to stay in the Sky Bet Championship after being tempted by the chance to play for a 'huge' club.

The 32-year-old defender has signed on loan for the rest of the season to become Graeme Murty's fourth signing following earlier temporary deals for Sean Goss, Jamie Murphy and Jason Cummings.

The 29-times capped Scotland international has spent eight years at Norwich and is relishing a fresh challenge after being deprived of first-team action since August.

'I spoke to my agent from the off and it was the one I really wanted to happen, there were offers from the Championship in England as well so I am pleased to get it done,' he told Rangers' official website.
