Australian ace eager to begin Ibrox career
Rangers' Australia international signing Matt McKay cannot wait to get his Ibrox career up and running this weekend.
The 28-year-old is currently on international duty, but is jetting to Glasgow after Wednesday's clash with Saudi Arabia.
McKay resolved work permit and visa problems before the international break, however, he opted to remain in his homeland due to the short timeline.
The former Brisbane Roar midfielder is frustrated he has not been able to start his Light Blues career sooner, although he is fully fit and ready to feature under manager Ally McCoist if needed.
Frustrating
"It was very frustrating that I wasn't able to get involved with the Rangers boys straight after I signed," he told the
Daily Record.
"First, there was the delay with the work permit then there was the wait for the visa in Australia which seemed to go on forever.
"I would much rather have been in Scotland pushing for selection but by the time everything was sorted the preparation for the World Cup qualifiers was upon us.
"So it made for more sense to stay here rather than head to Scotland and come back for these games.
"Friday night was a special night. I've lived in Brisbane most of my life and all my family and friends were there. It was a great way to say goodbye before heading to my new life in Glasgow.
"It's something I've dreamed of for a long time - to land a move to a big European club.
"I'll be ready to play as soon as I get to Scotland. I've been keeping fit and playing in the two games for Australia will help."
