Chris Burke signs for Ross County until end of the season

THE former Rangers winger returns to Scotland’s top flight for the first time since leaving Ibrox in 2009.

 

ROSS COUNTY have landed former Rangers winger Chris Burke on a deal until the end of the season.

 

The free agent had been training with Kilmarnock in the summer with a view to winning a deal.

 

But Rugby Park boss Gary Locke admitted they couldn’t match the offers from elsewhere.

 

Motherwell were also looking at the 32-year-old but Premiership rivals Ross County have won the race to sign the player whose last club was on loan at Rotherham from Nottingham Forest.

 

Burke returns to the Scottish top flight for the first time since leaving Rangers in 2009 for a move to Cardiff.

Good signing for them. Could have done us a turn.

A sign you are getting old when you see a guy you saw coming through the ranks reaching the twilight of his career:(.

He's done well down south. I suspect he will do well for county.

 

A player I like. Very effective.

Absolutely finished now. I was never a fan when he was with us anyway. Never rated him at all. Surprised a the Club`s he went on to play for because I thought he was more of a League 1 player down there at best.
