Faisal Antar hopes now to win a move to the Bundesliga
Rangers manager Alex McLeish has decided against offering Lebanon captain Faisal Antar a contract.

The 26-year-old Olympic Beirut defender had been on week-long trial at Murray Park hoping to win a move.

But having signed Sotirios Kyrgiakos, McLeish has chosen to allow the player to try his luck elsewhere.

"Maybe in another era we could have taken Faisal as well but I feel we have to let him go. I believe he is going to try the Bundesliga now," said McLeish.
