Rangers midfielder Charlie McCann has completed his £350,000 move to English League One side Forest Green Rovers.
And the Northern Ireland Under 21s international has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the ambitious Gloucestershire outfit. McCann, 20, came on as a sub in extra time in last week's League Cup semi-final win against Aberdeen, but that was his first outing in a Rangers shirt since a 13 minute cameo sub appearance in September.
It's believed McCann turned down the offer of a new deal with Rangers because he wanted a guarantee of first team football and has signed a bumper deal at Forest Green, who were promoted to English football's third tier last season. Rangers landed McCann in 2021 from Manchester United with the fee reportedly rising to £750,000 if he made a set amount of appearances for the Ibrox side. However, he made just one league start this season, back in September and McCann didn't see a first team pathway for him at Rangers.
McCann switched international allegiances from Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland last year and was called up for their Nations League games in the summer without playing.
Rangers will receive £3350,000 plus add-ons for McCann who began his career at Coventry City and could make his Forest Green debut tomorrow at Bolton Wanderers if international clearance comes through in time,
