Carlos Pena declares himself Rangers 'saviour' as Ibrox flop shrugs off nightmare spell in bold career reframe

Former Rangers flop Carlos Pena insists he WAS a success during his time at Ibrox as he continues his nomadic career in the Honduran league.

The Mexican international moved to Ibrox in 2017 and managed a respectable four goals in 12 appearances for Pedro Caixinha 's side. Well documented personal problems meant he struggled in the Scottish Premiership and his career went off the rails. Following Caixinha's departure from the Ibrox hot seat, Pena would barely get another look-in for The Light Blues, and was shipped out on loan to Cruz Azul and Necaxa before eventually being released by Rangers.

He has since been on the books at GKS Tychy in Poland, Atletico Veracruzano in his homeland and Balompie Mexicano where he found limited game time, before kick-starting his career in El Salvador with FAS where he claimed a league title. Despite finding form again with FAS, he would quickly move to Guatemalan outfit Antigua but struggled for form.
