ANDY KING will seek advice from Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers about life in Scottish football after signing for Rangers.
Former Celtic boss Rodgers told King he was free to go out on loan ahead of the Premier League kick-off and the Wales international has signed a season-long deal at Ibrox.
King said: "I've not really spoken to him about coming here specifically but I will do. A man who was so successful in Scottish football with the titles he won, I will call him and ask him about life in Glasgow, what Scottish football's like and stuff like that. But I have not really had the chance to do that."
King had no concerns about Rodgers sanctioning the move.
"No, not at all," the midfielder said. "I am really grateful for him being clear with me a couple of weeks ago. He said it was up to me to try and find a new challenge and fortunately I have managed to do that - a massive challenge at a massive football club and one I am delighted to be at."

King has had loan spells with Swansea and Derby over the past 18 months, the latter being cut short by an ankle injury in February this year.
The 30-year-old Premier League winner said: "I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with Leicester, before the last pre-season friendly game, and they were saying after last season, when I got injured, I need to go and try and play more regular games.
"They were pretty clear with me and I was grateful for the manager telling me that and giving me a bit of time. And once I heard about Rangers' interest obviously it was the only place I wanted to come and I'm delighted to be here now."
