Rangers signed Eduardo Herrera from UNAM for a reported £1.5 million [Scottish Sun] in the summer of 2017.
However, his Ibrox career never really got off the ground.
He was deployed almost exclusively as a substitute by Pedro Caixinha during his first season at the club and after netting just twice, he was deemed surplus to requirements.
Since then, he’s been sent out on loan back to his native Mexico.
The first of those spells was a poor few months with Santos Laguna where he barely played and failed to score.
Last January, he
joined another Liga MX outfit – Necaxa. That move worked out somewhat better, with the 30-year-old netting five times in 16 appearances.
However, that initial deal ended last month. Some uncertainty followed as the striker reported for pre-season with Necaxa rather than returning to Glasgow. Rangers have now moved to clarify his future, though.
