The title winning former Ibrox boss wanted to take Goldson to Saudi Arabia
Aleksey Shpilevsky has revealed Connor Goldson turned down a big money Rangers reunion with Steven Gerrard in order to join Aris Limassol
He said: "Connor Goldson is one of the biggest ever transfers for both Aris and for Cypriot football. I spoke to him first after we played against Rangers in Limassol and we had a chat and he was very humble. But I couldn't imagine we'd ever get Goldson. When we first spoke to him about coming here, one of the first questions he asked was whether we had a team ready to challenge for trophies.
Meanwhile, Rangers flop Jose Cifuentes is set to arrive in Greece to seal another loan move out of Ibrox after finally cutting through Brazilian red tape. The Ecuadorian midfielder first exited Rangers in February on loan to Cruzeiro, but he managed to make just three starts in Brazil's Seria A and was bombed out of the first team.
