Witschge calls time on career

FORMER Holland international Richard Witschge has decided to hang up his boots after failing to clinch a move to Rangers.

The 35-year-old spent a trial spell at the Ibrox club at the start of the season but was not offered a contract.

Ironically, injuries to summer signings Alex Rae and Dragan Mladenovic have now left Rangers manager Alex McLeish short of experienced midfielders.
