Muff 245 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 RANGERS have signed Algerian midfielder Salim Kerkar on a short term deal until the end of the current season.Salim Kerkar training at Murray ParkThe left sided player has spent a lengthy spell training with the first team at Murray Park and will now join Walter Smith's squad on a permanent basis subject to international clearance.It settles a long drawn out deal for the player who spent the last three seasons in the French leagues with Guegnon and Calais.He has featured in a number of closed doors games at the club's training facility while waiting for the details of the deal to be thrashed out.His performances in those outings impressed the coaching staff with Ally McCoist pleased to see him performing well."He is a lad who is shaping up well. He is a nice lad but more importantly he has a good left foot."Kerkar will now continue to train with the first team group and subject to gaining the relevant international clearance will become eligible for first team fixtures for the remainder of the season.http://www.rangers.co.uk/articles/20101109/kerkar-signs-deal_2254024_2213842Welcome to the club. Another option, hopefully he get's his chances and takes them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Low risk.I'm happy to add another number to the squad, especially a left footer.He won't be costing a lot in wages, I just hope he gets a few chances to show us what he can do.The way Ally McCoist said the other week "he will excite the fans" makes me sit up a bit. The may just have a plan for this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,600 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Welcome I can honestly say I've never seen him play. He might be here to fill up the numbers, we might have just signed the next Messi. Either way, delighted ANOTHER saga is finally ended in our favour.

Papa Sasac 164 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Delighted with this, although I don't think he'll get much game time, with the way our midfield it is just now. Nevertheless, welcome to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
