Gers complete double American swoop

Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers have completed the double signing of Alejandro Bedoya and Carlos Bocanegra from Orebro and St.Etienne respectively. The duo take the number of American players at Ibrox Park to three, joining midfielder Maurice Edu in Glasgow.

Bedoya had originally signed a pre contract agreement to join Rangers in January after the completion of the Swedish Allsvenskan league, but Rangers managed to broker a deal with Orebro for the 24 year old’s immediate transfer by paying a reported $500,000 fee.

Versatile defender Bocanegra, who can play at both left back and centre half, has joined on a three year contract for an undisclosed fee ( reported to be around $660,000). He captained the United States at the 2010 World Cup and has already collected more than 90 caps for the national team.
