Fitness coach Jordan Milsom has joined Rangers from Liverpool – and fans have taken to Twitter to hail it as a “great” move.
Milson took to his personal Twitter account on Friday morning to explain that he has quit as strength and rehabilitation coach at Anfield to take a new role of head of performance at the Scottish giants as he follows new manager Steven Gerrard north of the border.
Would like to say a huge thank you and goodbye to all of those special people I’ve worked with at LFC for the past 8 years. It was a privilege to work for my boyhood club. Now on to a new challenge working for Rangers FC. ??????????

The boyhood Liverpool fan has decided to leave the Premier League giants after an eight-year spell working for the academy that began in 2010.
He will join Gerrard’s backroom staff as Rangers continue to take on a Merseyside flavour during a massive overhaul on and off the pitch.
The Scottish giants finished the recent season a long way adrift of Celtic and took action by dumping interim boss Graeme Murty and replacing him with Gerrard.
The appointment of Milsom is an under-the-radar move but attracted widespread social media comment as mainly Gers fans welcomed him abroad, claiming they “can’t wait” and it was a “great” move.
Live 4 Liverpool has rounded up some of the best tweets:
Welcome to Rangers, Jordan. ????????
