Rangers: Carlos Pena has contract terminated by Ibrox club

The Mexican midfielder scored five goals in 14 matches for Rangers after being signed by Pedro Caixinha in a big-money move in June 2017 but largely struggled to adapt to the pace of Scottish football.

He went on loan in January last year to Cruz Azul - where he was reunited with Caixinha - but the deal was cut short because of alcohol-related discipline problems.

The 28-year-old reportedly spent time in rehab before joining Necaxa on loan, but that deal was also cut short late last year and Pena did not rejoin his Rangers team-mates.

A Rangers statement read: “We can confirm that Carlos Pena is no longer a Rangers player.

“His contract has been terminated.

“We wish him the best for his future.”
