Former Rangers defender Stevie Smith believes the Gers have ‘done well’ to finally part ways with Carlos Pena.
The Light Blues confirmed earlier that Pena’s deal had been ripped up and he was no longer a Rangers player.
“It was his first game, it was pre-season, you are trying to give him the benefit of the doubt,” Smith told the Daily Record.
“You’re thinking, he’s a Mexican internationalist, he must have something, he must be good at something. The more I watched he wasn’t offering me anything.
“The goals he went on to score just papered over the cracks. He was a poor signing and Rangers have done well to get rid of him.”
After joining the Gers in 2017, Pena only managed 14 appearances in blue.
Despite chances to impress, Pena’s loan deals ended and he returned to Glasgow in December.
The Mexican midfielder is now someone else’s problem and hopefully Rangers haven’t been left footing the bill.
Between Pena’s transfer fee and wages, he’s already cost the Gers more than enough without also getting a payoff to leave.
