It was a oui bit crazy in France so chaos at Gers didn't faze me

Fan fury nothing new to Derek after Marseille madness

- ANDY NEWPORT

DEREK CORNELIUS admits he has stepped into a world of chaos at Ibrox.

But the new Rangers recruit reckons he will be able to take it all in his stride having survived the Marseille madhouse.

The Canada international has swapped the south of France for Glasgow's southside after joining on a year-long loan.

The Velodrome support most notably the infamous Commando Ultra 84 gang - are notorious for their extreme behaviour on the terraces.

Cornelius saw plenty of examples at the Ligue 1 giants last year. And that's why he's not been ruffled by the sight of 1500 fans protesting against boss Russell Martin and chief exec Patrick Stewart ahead of his first start on Saturday.

Ahead of tonight's Europa League clash with Genk he said: "It's something I try not to put too much focus on. With clubs like Rangers there's an expectation to win and the way I view it is that extra pressure that we're getting from outside and the chaos that I'm stepping into, it's a privilege.

"I view it as a challenge to come here and try and help the situation.
