“It has always been a dream for me to play in the Champions League,” Ofoborh said.
“I am a person who is confident in my abilities and I have been through a lot in my career already.
“But I have always told my friends that one day I will participate in this tournament. If I have that chance at Rangers, I would have done it much sooner than expected.
