Rangers shun Danny Shittu

14.07.2008

RANGERS have pulled out of a deal to sign Nigerian international defender Danny Shittu from Watford.

The 27-year-old was in talks with the Ibrox club after his club accepted a bid of around £1.5m. But personal terms could not be agreed and Rangers have now ended their interest in the player.

Celtic has also been linked with a move for Shittu and several English Premier League clubs have made enquires about the centre-half.

Shittu, who has 12 caps, joined Watford from Queens Park Rangers in 2006 and has previously had spells with Charlton and Blackpool.

Earlier this month Rangrs extended the contracts of defenders Christian Daily and David Weir while Andy Webster has made his move to Ibrox permanent having initially been on loan from Wigan.
