Gers desire impressed Prso

Dado Prso has explained his reasons for choosing a move to Rangers, with the Monaco star admitting the Scottish giants went the extra mile in order to land him.

Prso was also wanted by Premiership duo Portsmouth and Bolton, but the Croatian plumped for The Gers after being impressed with the club.

"When I saw how they acted I was really charmed," said Prso - who has been a key figure in Monaco's UEFA Champions League campaign.

"They put a private jet at my disposal and went to extraordinary lengths to make me feel welcome.

"Straight away I had a great feeling about the coach Alex McLeish. It was really impressive.

"I am joining a great club and I am very, very happy.

"I honestly thought I would remain with Monaco, but they just could not compete. There are too many financial problems and I could not wait forever.

"I wanted things settled before I went to Euro 2004."

Prso has played at Ibrox before, featuring for Monaco against Rangers in the 2000 Champions League.

"During the entire encounter it was a great thrill," added the striker.

"The atmosphere was incomparable. I have never felt anything so strong in any other club in Europe.

"That is the kind of club I needed."
