Fran Sandaza brands Rangers 'worst club' of his career as he reflects on Ibrox spell

Fran Sandaza has branded Rangers as the WORST club of his career.

The former Dundee United striker joined the Light Blues during their spell in the lower leagues but was unable to replicate the form he showed at Tannadice and St Johnstone before he was later released from his contract.

The 38-year-old has since turned out in the likes of Spain, Japan, China and Qatar. He won promotion to La Liga after his ill-fated spell in Glasgow and believes everything happened for a reason. He has labelled the call to put pen to paper at Rangers as a 'bad decision' and says it was his only poor experience of his time plying his trade in Scotland.

Speaking to the Courier, he said: “It has been a long time and, looking back, I can say it [leaving Rangers] was the best thing that happened for me. I scored a lot of goals back in Spain, won a promotion to La Liga and made very good contacts. I think this all happened for a reason. It was not the best goodbye to Scotland but leaving that club was the best thing for me.

"With my career over I can say it was a bad decision to sign for Rangers. That is for sure.

"When I was in the lower divisions, my mentality was not the best. I knew right away that it was not right.

“The only bad experience in Scotland was Rangers. It was a bad choice to go to that club; the worst club of my career."

During his time at Rangers the striker netted just two goals in 19 appearances.
