Forget England, Kim Min-su turns Korean attention to Scotland

The attention of Korean soccer fans is shifting away from England and towards Scotland this season. Kim Min-su, a 20-year-old winger, is set to join Rangers, one of Scotland's most successful clubs. Despite not having played in the K-League, his transfer from the second tier of Spanish football has garnered significant attention.

Rangers have a storied history, having won the Scottish title 55 times and regularly drawing crowds of around 50,000 at their home ground, Ibrox Stadium. The move represents a stark contrast to Kim's previous European experience, where he played for Girona, a team with an average attendance of just 11,000 fans. Glasgow, home to Rangers and their fierce rivals Celtic, is renowned as one of the world's premier soccer cities.

"I'm so happy to sign for Rangers," Kim expressed. "I know it's a club with a rich history and passionate fans. My goal is to help the team improve and contribute to their success every day, both as a player and as a positive influence within the squad."
