Jon Flanagan suffers life after Rangers blow as defender set to leave Charleroi without kicking a ball

Ex-Rangers star Jon Flanagan is set to leave Belgian side Charleroi without playing a single minute.

The full-back departed Ibrox last summer having fallen well down the pecking order under boss Steven Gerrard.

He then made an ambitious switch to the continent but the transfer has proven a disaster.

Flanagan suffered a setback in testing positive for Covid-19 but the former Liverpool youth failed to even make the bench for the Jupiler Pro League outfit.

And he's now in talks with three Polish clubs - Jagiellonia Bialystok, Gornik Zabrze and Zaglebie Lubin, after being told he can rip up his contract.

Flanagan won one cap for his country in 2014 and was touted as a star for the future, but his career has failed to live up to expectations.

Charleroi boss Karim Belhocine said when he signed: "Jon Flanagan has shown in training he will be a fantastic player for this club.

"He has character and is a hard-worker which suits Charleroi well."
