Kim Min-su is set to join Scottish giants Rangers for a sizable fee, drawing attention in Korea despite his lack of K-League experience. The 20-year-old winger is moving from Girona in Spain’s second tier on a reported four-year contract. Rangers, Scotland’s 55-time champions, expect him to adapt at Ibrox and compete in major Old Firm derbies against Celtic.

It is noticeable that there is a lack of Korean players in the English Premier League this season, but there has been a big transfer story in the United Kingdom.
Kim Min-su is set to join Scottish giants Rangers for a sizable fee. Kim may not be that well-known in Korea, as he has never played in the K-League and arrives in Glasgow from the second tier of the Spanish league. Now though, there is going to be plenty of attention on the 20-year-old winger.
Rangers have been champions of Scotland no less than 55 times and regularly play in front of 50,000 fans at the historic Ibrox Stadium. It is going to be quite a change from Girona and its average attendance of 11,000 or so fans. Glasgow is one of the world’s great soccer cities, with the Blues of Rangers against the Green and White hoops of their bitter rivals Celtic.
