Rangers sign Muscat
Wednesday, 15 May 2002 12:40Alex McLeish today confirmed that Wolves defender Kevin Muscat has joined Rangers on a free transfer. McLeish said, "Kevin Muscat signed a few weeks ago. He will bring experience and he is a solid pro. We have had good endorsements for him from past coaches, none more so than Eddie Thomsen (the former Australia coach), who I played with at Aberdeen. Eddie rates Kevin very highly, but we also did our homework. We watched him in a few games and he looked like he would be a good squad acquisition."
Meanwhile, McLeish has also confirmed Andrei Kanchelskis has been released from the club along with Tony Vidmar. The former Everton and Manchester United winger has been criticised for some of his displays for the Light Blues since joining from Fiorentina for £5.5million in July 1998.
McLeish told Rangers News, "Andrei and Tony are leaving. They're free to go under Bosman as they won't be offered new contracts. Both have done a great job for me this season. Tony can play anywhere in defence and we have also put him in midfield. When Andrei came into the side, his attitude was fantastic."
