HB Koge director Per Rud admits management is pinching itself over their deal for Jon Flanagan.

The former Liverpool and Rangers defender has signed for Koge thanks to his connection with coach Dan Agger, a former Reds teammate.

Rud told Ekstra Bladet: "When you do something like this, there is always some degree of madness about it.

"Somewhere you say, 'how is that possible?'

"And that is only because of the relationship the two have, because he is used to making some money of a completely different calibre than what we can offer here."
