McCoist weighs up striker bid

by Setanta Staff , 11 January 2012 SPL_Rangers

Ally McCoist has confirmed he is considering a move to sign Real Valladolid striker Javi Guerra to bolster Rangers' title bid.


The Rangers boss revealed that Guerra is a player he has watched closely since the start of the season and has been very impressed with his displays for the Spanish second division side.

McCoist refused to expand on whether he will make a bid to sign the 29-year-old, who has scored 37 goals in 60 games for his club in the last two seasons, during January's transfer window but admitted that he is a player who is on his radar.

McCoist told the club's Blues News: "I don't like discussing other team's players but he's very good. We've been watching a lot of games. "

Valladolid are going well in the second tier in Spanish football just now and he has been battering in all sorts of goals.

"He is someone else's player and it wouldn't be fair of me to say much more than that, but he is a top player."

Asked if he would be interested in signing the forward if he became available, McCoist said: "Quite possibly. He is a very good player and, if the opportunity arose, yes."
