"Scotland champion Glasgow today officially announced the acquisition of French defender Juliano Rodrigues.

Earlier, there were rumors in the press that "Rangers" were interested in this Frenchman, but neither the player nor the Scottish team could confirm anything concrete. The player was also being watched by clubs like "Portsmouth" or Moscow's "CSKA".

As reported, the defender signed a four-year contract with the Scottish champions, but the other contract details have not been announced yet. It is estimated that Glasgow's club had to pay about one and a half million euros for the player's transfer fee.

Initially, it was thought that Rodriguez would move to "Rangers" only after helping "Monaco" in the third UEFA Champions League qualifying round, but now it is clear that the player will be able to represent the Scottish team in the tournament from next week.

It is worth mentioning that Rodriguez became the third player from "Ligue 1" to join "Rangers" this summer. Earlier, Jose Pierre-Fanfan and Danny N'Guessan joined the club."
