Euro rival a bit dopey

Rangers’ Euro rivals Progres Niederkorn are set to field a player facing a ban for doping.

New French signing Emmanuel Francoise failed a drugs test last month while playing for their league rivals Fola Esch.

The midfielder is understood to have taken a banned anti-asthma remedy before a 5-2 loss at champions F91 Dudelange.

However, the 30-year-old will be free to play in both games against Rangers, with his case only due to come up in September.

A Niederkorn spokesman said: “We will compile a dossier to prove he did not in any way take this substance to enhance his performance. He can play for us in official games until his case has been judged.”
