Lovenkrands urged to sign

Rangers manager Paul Le Guen has told Peter Lovenkrands he should decide now on the club’s final contract offer.

The 26-year-old Danish forward has been stalling on signing a new deal and has been linked with clubs around Europe.

New boss Le Guen would like to keep the frontman after watching his impressive displays in the Champions League last season, but he is not going to bend over backwards to keep him at Ibrox.

Le Guen said: “Lovenkrands is a player I would like to keep but there are limits. It depends on his decision.

“I watched the Champions League games. Rangers had a great season in the Champions League and yes I watched his goals.

“It’s up to him now, I understand he has been offered a very good contract.”

He refused to visit Ibrox while Alex McLeish was in power but has done his homework on all Rangers’ games and the club’s players.

Le Guen told Rangers News: “I did not want to go to the stadium while Alex was in charge so I have watched all of the matches on DVD.

“Of course I know Julien Rodriguez and Dado Prso very well. When I was coach of Lyon we used to fight against Monaco so I know these players very well.

“I look forward to working with them. I hope they are happy with Rangers and I hope they are ready to stay with Rangers and work with me.”
