Watch as former Rangers forward Fashion Sakala scores first Saudi goal

This is the moment that former Rangers forward Fashion Sakala scored on his debut in Saudi Arabia.

The Zambian moved from Ibrox to the Middle East this week in a £4million switch.

The 26-year-old paid an emotional tribute to the Gers fans on social media prior to his departure on Monday evening.

And he's wasted little time in getting familiar with his new surroundings in Saudi by scoring on his first appearance for Al-Feiha.

He doubled his side's lead over Al-Khaleej with the goal right before half-time. The final score was 3-1 to Sakala's new team.

Footage of the pacey attacker's goal was shared on social media.

He timed his run to perfection, evading the offside trap with Al-Khaleej incredibly high defensive line. 

As he got closer to goal he weighed up his options before eventually deciding to round goalkeeper Ibrahim Šehić and tap home.

The Zambia international will be hoping it's the first of many in red colours during his spell in the Saudi Pro League.

Meanwhile, unwanted ex-Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is negotiating with a number of clubs in Russia to relaunch his career, according to his agent.

The Colombian hitman is still without a club despite being available on a pre-contract since January and as a free agent since leaving Rangers at the end of last season.

He maintained last month that he was searching for a club at a 'top European league' and insisted he wasn't concerned about not getting a club.
