McCoist Gets His First Signing.

Juan Manuel Ortiz.

Juan Manuel Ortiz has become McCoist's first signing since he succeeded Walter Smith as manager joined up with his new team-mates before flying out from Glasgow Airport for their pre-season trip to Germany.

The Light Blues manager welcomed his new recruit who played for Almeria in La Liga for 4 years before they were relegated last season.

"We are delighted," said McCoist. "There were one or two little hiccups along the road, unfortunately, but it's done and dusted and we are all pleased.

"I think the fact that he can play a number of positions was a big thing. He probably runs Steven Whittaker close.
