Dragan set for Ibrox exit - soccer24-7.com Forums

Dragan Mladenovic has been told his Rangers career is over just six months after signing for the Ibrox club.

The Serbian international was signed by manager Alex McLeish for £1.2m from Red Star Belgrade in the summer but he has been plagued by injury since then.

Now, after just six starts for Rangers, he has been told to find a new club before the end of the month.

Mladenovic's agent Ken Anderson claims the player wanted to stay and fight for his place at Rangers but has now been targetted by clubs in England, Germany and Russia.

He told the Daily Record: "We understand Rangers may let the player go.

"He has no desire to go and wanted to stay and fight for his place. He has been unlucky with injuries and feels he has a lot to show.

"But after Rangers made it clear to us he can move, we have been in talks with clubs in Germany and Russia.

"We have also had one or two English Premiership clubs asking about the size of the fee and salary. He won't be short of offers."

Good player but hasn't showed it and you can only blame injury's for so long if they money is decent he can leave.

Don't understand this, is he on a free? what's his contract...did you not pay over a £1million for him

You better hope this leaving after six months doesn't start a trend.

Don't worry we can replace players and our manager has money to spend

Yeah, I know, just having a bit of fun with my Rangers friends. You think you'll bring anyone else in by the window?

He's a good player but it hasn't worked out and Rangers may sell as we don't really need him. I'd rather we sold bad players than offer to buy them at £2.5 million like others clubs

Wel lthe biggest transfer could be Barry Ferguson but I've also heard we are looking for other Midfielder targets so we should have a new midfielder.

McLeish is doing the right thing IMHO.
