Rangers striker Robbie Ure has justified his decision to leave the Scottish club for Sevilla, scoring 20 goals in 20 appearances in the Swedish Allsvenskan. The 22-year-old, who made three top team appearances for Rangers before moving to Anderlecht and then Sirius, has signed a five-year deal with the La Liga giants for an initial £5.5m, which will rise to around £7.6m with add-ons.
What happened?
Robbie Ure has made a dream move to Sevilla, joining the La Liga club on a five-year deal worth an initial £5.5m, which will rise to around £7.6m with add-ons.
Why it matters for Rangers
The departure of Ure, who scored 20 goals in 20 appearances in the Swedish Allsvenskan, is a significant loss for Rangers, who are currently 1 point behind leaders Heart of Midlothian in the title race.
What comes next?
Ure is set to make his debut for Sevilla in their league opener against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, and is looking to make his mark in the Spanish top flight.
Rangers are currently 2nd in the Premiership, 69 points, 19W-12D-2L from 33 games, with recent form WLLLL. They have scored 66 goals and conceded 31 this season, with a goal difference of +35. The team is on a 2-game winning run, with their last result being a 5-2 win over Falkirk on May 16th.
Ure, who has taken the Swedish league by storm this season, netted 31 goals in 50 appearances for Sirius across the past two years. He said: "I think I became more confident this season, more belief that when I have this chance that I can take this chance. I think scoring goals comes down to being cool in the mind and slowing everything down and really just thinking about you and the ball."
Why Ure left Rangers
Ure, who was unveiled by Sevilla on Tuesday, said that his decision to leave Rangers three years ago was a brave one, but one that has justified itself with his dream move to the Spanish club.
What Ure hopes to achieve at Sevilla
Ure, who has signed a five-year deal with Sevilla, is looking to make his mark in the Spanish top flight and help the team achieve success.

Current situation at Rangers
Rangers are currently without several key players, including Ben Godfrey, José Cifuentes, and Youssef Chermiti, who are all sidelined. The team is looking to make a strong start to the new season, and will be hoping that Ure's departure will not have a significant impact on their chances of success.
