Steven Gerrard has made yet another signing at Rangers, bringing Lassana Coulibaly in on a season-long loan from French club Angers.

After the acquisitions of Allan McGregor, Jon Flanagan, Connor Goldson Nikola Katic, Scott Arfield, Ovie Ejaria, and Jamie Murphy, Gerrard has made his eighth signing of the summer.

The new manager's latest signing is Lassana Coulibaly, a reinforcement from Angers, who signs on a season-long loan. The 22-year-old plays in midfield, and has been at Angers for three years, making 48 appearances.

"I'm very happy to be here," Coulibaly, said of the move, talking to 'Rangers TV'. "When my agent said that Gerrard is the head coach, I said, OK, no problem, and then I was happy to come and join this team.

"He can help me to develop my football. When he was at Liverpool, I grew up watching him.

"Rangers is a good team, I'd heard the name before Gerrard came in here. I don't watch the league, but I know about Celtic and Rangers in Scotland.

"I play midfield, I'm strong and physical and I can get the ball from the opponent for my team."
