The Rangers fans gave a loud welcoming reception to Fabio Silva who joined on loan from Wolves after making his debut v Kilmarnock.

Philippe Clement opted to keep the Portuguese striker on the bench for the game at Ibrox and brought him on in the second half.

Gers ended up winning the game 3-1 and BBC's Nick McPheat revealed on the blog that it was a warm welcome by the Ibrox faithful.

Welcome to life at Rangers

This positive reception from the fans reflects a collective hope that Silva can redeem himself after a less-than-ideal spell at Wolves.

Having been previously touted for great things, Silva's move to Molineux did not unfold as expected.

Now, at Ibrox, he has a second chance to showcase his talent and make a significant impact.

The supporters' enthusiasm sets the stage for Silva to prove himself and play a pivotal role in Rangers' title pursuit.

The pressure is on for the Portuguese striker to fire on all cylinders and he knows that he's got to deliver from the get go at Ibrox.

Gers are already playing catch up Celtic in the league and he can now use the winter break in order to freshen things up and be ready for the new system.

Cyriel Dessers has failed to live up to expectations and Danilo is out injured so it's on him to share the goal-scoring burden with Abdallah Sima.
