FRANCIS GETS STEINER


RANGERS have signed Bradford City striker Rob Steiner on a month's loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

Steiner, 25, has won three caps for Sweden and was Bradford’s leading scorer last season with 11 goals.

He’s 25 years old, 6 feet three inches tall and 13 stone.

Boss Gerry Francis said:"We had a loan spare - Tim Breacker has gone back to West Ham, as they wanted money for him.

So I’ve been up and down the motorways scouring a few things and I’ve secured Rob from Bradford for a month.

"He will be a very good addition to the squad. Rob is a good size and a good age. He is very useful in the air and has a lot of ability.

I’m pleased we have got him in and we’ve agreed a deal to sign him permanently after the month’s loan if everything goes o.k."

Team news ...Matthew Rose is ruled out after having an operation on his broken nose...Paul Murray is 50-50 after his midweek knee injury...

Rob Steiner was a refreshing signing and a good addition for us at the time. Unfortunately injury made that career far too short!

Oh yeah, boy, was he an awful diver too. Remember on more than on occassion him getting booed by R's fans for his theatricals. If thats the treatment given to our own players, then is it any wonder the depth of feeling to the lowlife Ashley Young on here?
