Tore Andre FLO completed his £12 million move to Rangers yesterday and admitted a lack of first-team football forced him to quit Chelsea.
The 27-year-old Norwegian international striker, who had made only three starts for Chelsea this season, said: "I've not been playing enough, so I had to do something."
Flo, who has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Scottish giants, added: "I'm very happy to get this opportunity. I wanted to go to a club that can win something and believe we can do it here."
He is clearly relishing the prospect of making his Rangers debut in Sunday's Old Firm clash with Celtic at Ibrox and said: "I've watched derby games on TV and I understand it is very important for the people here."
Flo's signing eclipses the previous Scottish transfer record of £6million - the fee Celtic paid Chelsea for Chris Sutton in the summer.
Flo's signing means Rangers manager Dick Advocaat has spent more than £71 million on new players since the summer of 1998. Advocaat has signed 27 players since taking over from Walter Smith - and 12 of them have been attackers.
Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale is confident Rio Ferdinand will be unveiled as the world's most expensive defender ahead of the Premiership clash with Arsenal on Sunday after meeting the player in London yesterday. Negotiations are due to be concluded this morning, with Ferdinand then travelling up to Leeds tomorrow to complete a medical before being paraded in front of the Leeds fans prior to the Elland Road clash with the Gunners.
