James Sands has been blasted for being 'disrespectful' towards Rangers and Scottish football following his exit back to his homeland.
The American was a Gio Van Bronckhorst recruit from New York City FC but lasted just 18 months at Ibrox and only made a handful of appearances under new boss Michael Beale when he succeeded the Dutchman in Glasgow. Sands never hit the heights for the Light Blues and spoke of his frustration at how things turned out at Rangers.
But since the 22-year-old has been criticised by those of the Ibrox persuasion for comments made about the standard of football in Scotland, even claiming he was never 'at all challenged' during his stint. That irked Celtic hero Frank McAvennie who, in no uncertain terms has told the midfielder he 'couldn't hack it here' and was 'hopeless' as a player.
