Dundee United sign Rangers midfielder Charlie Telfer

Dundee United have completed the signing of midfielder Charlie Telfer following his release from Rangers.

The 18-year-old Scot has penned a three-year contract at Tannadice Park.

Telfer, who joined the Gers' academy over 10 years ago, made his first-team debut last season.

"Charlie is a very gifted footballer with great awareness and has excellent delivery from set pieces," United boss Jackie McNamara told the club's official website.

"His style of football will settle in perfectly with the rest of the young talent we are currently producing at the club.

"He is a sensible, level-headed young man who wants to play for Dundee United and I am delighted that we have secured his services for the next three years."

United secured a fourth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership table last season.
