RANGERS have completed the signing of 16-year-old Cameron Bell from Everton, with the youngster set to join up with the club's academy side.
The Scotland youth internationalist is the third young player in a week to seal a move to the Glasgow giants after Partick Thistle striker Cameron Cooper and Motherwell's Bailey Rice finalised moves of their own.
Bell will be part of Cameron Campbell and Stevie Smith's Under-18s squad for the upcoming season after the Rangers B & Academy account confirmed the deal on Twitter.
"Rangers Academy are delighted to welcome @ScotlandNT Youth International, Cameron Bell, who joins from @Everton," it read.
"Cameron (16) will go into our under 18 squad working alongside Cameron Campbell and Stevie Smith.
"Welcome to Rangers Cameron."
Bell had spent the last nine years at Everton before departing Goodison Park last week and paid tribute to the club in an Instagram post.
He said: "9 years at this football club.
"Travelled the world with my best mates and beat the some of the best teams in the world. I was gonna put some of my goals on but thought there’d be too many you see.
"Some of the best moments of my life playing for this football club and wouldn’t change a single thing.
"Thanks to every person at @everton that made me into the person and player that I am today.
"Hopefully things will return to the way they once was at the club soon enough.
"Gonna be strange not putting that kit on anymore but cannot wait for the next chapter.
"Thank you for everything @everton."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
