Bougherra reveals move decision

RangersMadjid Bougherra says he was persuaded to join Rangers by Algeria international Brahim Hemdani after completing his £2.5m switch.

Bougherra has left Charlton to join the Gers after turning down the chance to sign for Premier League new boys West Brom and the 25-year-old says that Hemdani proved to be the key.

The versatile star spent 18 months at the Valley but is now looking forward to his new challenge, after penning a four-year deal with the Gers.

"I spoke to Brahim about coming here and he spoke very well about the club, the facilities and the fans," Bougherra told the Glasgow club's official website.

"He pushed me to come here, so I am very pleased I have signed for Rangers. They are a very big club and I want to get into the team quickly."
