But he arrives in Scotland after a less than straightforward spell with the Serie A giants.

Ramsey was earning an annual salary of more than £6m with Juventus.

However, he started just 25 league matches during his two and a half years with the Italian side.

It works out as a remarkably lucrative deal given the lack of minutes he offered the club.

In particular, the 2020-21 season only saw him feature in the starting XI on 16 occasions in all competitions.

So, as reported by , for that particular campaign the Welshman earned himself £45k for every minute of football.

The 31-year-old is now hoping to rejuvenate his career in the Scottish Premiership after an inactive time in Serie A.

Speaking about his decision to join Rangers, Ramsey said: “I am really pleased to be joining a club like Rangers, where there is so much to look forward to between now and May.

“I had a number of offers on the table, but none matched the magnitude of this club, with European football and the chance to play in front of 50,000 fans every other week.

“I have had some fantastic conversations with the manager and Ross Wilson, and I’m really looking forward to working with both of them, and to meeting the supporters.”

Meanwhile, Gers boss Van Bronckhorst added: “I’m absolutely delighted that we have been able to add a player of Aaron’s quality, experience and leadership to our squad.

“As soon as it was mooted as a possibility, I was really keen for us to try everything to get the deal done, and huge credit must go to Ross and to the Board for the work they have put in on this.
