Rangers chasing first World Cup star?

Last updated : 31 May 2002 By
After Senegal's shock 1-0 win in the opening game of the World Cup today, Rangers are said to be ready to table a bid for goalscorer Papa Bouba Diop.

The Senegal hero scored the goal on 29 minutes at that prompted many long distance calls stemming from the Govan area of Glasgow.

You'll probably hear how Alex McLeish has sent spies to look at the RC Lens midfielder, but don't believe a word of it, it will be just another flavour of the month signing from the Scottish Cup champions.

However, news that 'Gers would be looking to sign Carl Fletcher from Harchester United if he survived the car crash, and Warbury Warroirs hothead Fabien de Gussion are said to be well off the mark!
