Kyle has endured an injury-ravaged 18 months and left Hearts in the summer after two years with the SPL outfit, but is eager to make the most of his new opportunity.

“There is only one attraction, and I’m sure that’s the same for all the signings: this is Rangers, it doesn’t get any bigger than this,” he told the club’s official website.

“It’s a massive opportunity and there aren’t many people who get a chance like this in Scotland.

“When it came to me I had to pinch myself. When I got in here for a week I told myself I was going to work so hard and prove that I can do a job here.

“That’s worked out and I’ve signed a one-year deal. The aim now is to do well this season and hopefully the manager comes knocking on my door to extend that.

“I’m hungry and I have a desire to do well here. I have some unfinished business but at the end of the day the attraction was Rangers.

“Regardless of whether it’s the Third Division or the Dog and Duck Sunday League it’s still Rangers and it’s a great opportunity to play here.”
