THIS is the moment that Jude Bellingham got his first glimpse of Ibrox ahead of Borussia Dortmund's showdown with Rangers tomorrow.
The England international told last week how he was buzzing to play in Glasgow as he branded Ibrox as one of the best stadiums in Europe.
The official Borussia Dortmund Twitter captured the moment that Bellingham went out to train on the pitch tonight and as he took to the field he can be heard saying "what a gaff".

Last week Bellingham said: âWeâre going to go there and give everything. We know how hard it will be but personally, I canât wait to play at Ibrox.
âItâs one of the best stadiums in Europe when itâs packed on a European night but bring it on!â
Marco Rose admits Borussia Dortmund have no option but to take Thursday nightâs Europa League tie to Rangers.
The Scottish champions stunned the Bundesliga giants with a 4-2 win in the first leg of the knockout round play-off in Germany last week.
Dortmund boss Rose, who will again be without his star striker Erling Haaland, can expect a capacity crowd of around 50,000 at Ibrox in the second leg and knows his side will have to go for goals.
He said: âThe situation is clear and we need to score two goals.
âWe know that but we are trying not to think too much about it.
âWe know we have to keep the balance between attacking and defending but we need to score two goals so of course we need to attack.
âOf course we are looking forward to playing in front of a full stadium.
âWe have not had that experience in Germany for a while given the (Covid) restrictions.
âBut we are looking forward to it because thatâs what football is all about. I donât think itâs an issue for our players because even our youngest, Jude Bellingham, is an England international player.
âThey all have experience. But itâs going to be a special game and we have to deal with the atmosphere.
âItâs going to push Rangers and we have to try and take something positive from it ourselves. If we manage to do that we can win tomorrow.â
