I signed for Rangers after Rodgers arranged Celtic trial

Former Rangers midfielder Dean Furman has revealed his move to Ibrox was sparked by a trial spell at Celtic.

The former Oldham midfielder, now 35, was at Rangers for two years but only made one league appearance for the club.

However, Furman detailed the bizarre circumstances surrounding his move to Glasgow having first been sent on trial at Celtic.

Then a Chelsea starlet, Furman had been offered a week-long trial at Celtic but also received a trial at Rangers having been contacted by an agent during his period at Lennoxtown

And after a tour at Ibrox and Murray Park, Furman was convinced to join Rangers on trial and then sign a contract with the club.

And in a strange Celtic-Rangers connection, Furman’s initial trial at Celtic was arranged by current Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers who was then a youth coach at Stamford Bridge.
