Dorrans a target for Caixinha
RANGERS are stepping-up their bid to land Norwich star Graham Dorrans. The 30-year-old is leaving Carrow Road and Ibrox chiefs are working on a deal to sign the Scotland midfielder. Manager Pedro Caixinha has been back in his homeland for the past few days, but work has continued behind the scenes in Glasgow on securing the Portuguese boss’ targets. Dorrans (above) remains high on the transfer hitlist and there is speculation that talks are still ongoing with a view to a summer switch. The playmaker would relish a return to Scotland and to join the club he supported as a kid after nine years south of the border with West Brom and Norwich. Meanwhile, Mexican legend Luis Garcia reckons Pedro Caixinha is the perfect man to relaunch party-loving midfielder Carlos Pena’s career. The Leon midfielder is in negotiations with the Ibrox club to move to Scotland after a career laden with controversies. Former Atletico Madrid star Garcia – who won 79 caps and featured in two World Cups for Mexico – believes a move to Scotland would be perfect for Pena. He said: “Carlos has the chance to move away from a Mexican environment that has polluted him, although much of the contamination was done by himself. “Not so long ago, he was the star man in Mexico. Everyone wanted their picture taken with him. “But no matter how foolishly he’s acted and how much his career has faded, he’s suddenly been given another chance by Pedro Caixinha. “Pedro is a cultured, innovative coach. He’s successful because he takes risks. He isn’t intimidated by the challenge of rehabilitating the career of Carlos Pena. “Despite his troubles, I firmly believe in Carlos. He is still a very good player.”
