Rangers will look to immediately get rid of Eduardo Herrera when he returns from his year-long loan at Mexican club Santos Laguna, according to the Daily Record.
The Scottish newspaper claim director of football Mark Allen is desperately keen to go to work on offloading the “well paid star”, who arrived in the summer of 2017 for a £1.5million fee.
The Record report that striker Herrera will not be in contention for Steven Gerrard’s squad and is certain to be on his way at the end of the current campaign.
OPINION
Take your pick of the bum signings brought in by Pedro Caixinha during the one summer he was let loose on Rangers’ war chest, but none was less effective or more of a waste of money than Herrera. No, not even his fellow Mexican Carlos Pena. The big striker will be remembered as the most wretched signing in a summer chock full of them, with Alfredo Morelos and Daniel Candeias the notable exceptions. It was a measure of how poorly suited Herrera was to Scottish football that he was almost only ever used in late cameo roles from the bench, despite an absence of alternative striker options to main man Morelos. His haul of two goals from 24 Light Blues matches was pitiful, especially when considering the club paid £1.5million for him, handed over a lucrative salary and thought they were getting a penalty box predator of the highest calibre. Quite how Herrera had managed to play nine times for his country is something of a mystery to anyone who saw him in a blue shirt.
