Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to welcome new signing Dalcio to the club.

The majority of the Ibrox faithful were happy that the midfield enforcer, 21, had arrived on a season-long loan from Benfica, while a small section of them called for their club to announce more signings.

The Glasgow giants announced Dalcio’s arrival on their official website on Tuesday afternoon.

The Portuguese ace, who plays predominantly as a midfield enforcer rather than the winger position claimed by Ranger’s Twitter account, arrives after playing 33 league games for Benfica B last term, scoring one goal and supplying three assists.

He spent two seasons with Benfica, having joined them from Belenenses in the summer of 2015, and he has made 50 appearances in all competitions for their second XI.

The 21-year-old was capped six times by Portugal Under-20s, he was utilised mainly in the middle of the park, but also on the right-wing when required.

Rangers fans were delighted to welcome Dalcio to Glasgow on the whole, although a small section of them just asked their club to announce more signings.

This is Futbol has rounded up some of the best tweets.

Dalcio is the third player to arrive at Ibrox this summer, as manager Pedro Caixinha has already signed veteran defender Bruno Alves from Cagliari and midfield ace Ryan Jack from Aberdeen.

Rangers are looking to overhaul their squad this summer ahead of the 2017/18, which will see them try to challenge Celtic domestically, as well as compete in the Europa League.
