Ridvan Yilmaz breaks silence amid Rangers transfer exit rumours

Ridvan Yilmaz has confirmed he is in Glasgow - and is with Glasgow Rangers.

Philippe Clement has branded rumours suggesting the left-back was on his way out of the club as a 'shambles'.

Reports in Turkey, his homeland, last week claimed that his former club Besiktas were interested in re-signing him.

Fuel was added to the fire on Saturday when Yilmaz appeared to post that he was in an Istanbul coffee shop in his Instagram story.

The defender was then left out of today's squad for the Scottish Premiership match with Dundee United, which Rangers won 3-1.

Pre-match Clement dismissed the transfer talk, insisting Yilmaz had sustained a 'small injury'.

Now, the 23-year-old has now taken to his Instagram story to clarify his situation and put the rumours to bed

Posting a pic of himself wearing a Gers shirt, he wrote: "Here in Glasgow with Glasgow Rangers."

Post-match, Clement was further asked about Yilmaz.

The Belgian said: "That story is total shambles. 

"I've seen Ridvan every day, the last couple of days, so I hear reports that he was in Turkey and all these things.

"No, he had a small injury. I hope he's back on Thursday."
