Rangers FC have unveiled Slovakia striker Filip Šebo as their ninth summer recruit as French manager Paul Le Guen continues to stamp his mark on the squad.
'Dream transfer'
The 22-year-old, who had played three games of the new Austrian season with FK Austria Wien, signed a four-year contract today. "I am very happy to be at Rangers," Šebo said. "This is a dream transfer for me, because I dreamt my whole life that I would one day play in Britain. Paul Le Guen is a very good coach. He wanted me and that was the most important thing." Šebo will compete with Dado Pršo and Kris Boyd for a place in the Rangers attack.
Prolific record
The Scottish side are reported to have paid €2.6m for his services, as Šebo still had two years left at Austria. He had moved to Vienna on the eve of the 2005/06 campaign, scoring five goals in 32 league games. It was his form at FC Artmedia in the preceding season that really caught the eye, as he struck 22 times in 29 matches. Šebo has yet to be capped as a full international, but has played regularly at Under-16, U19 and U21 levels. Rangers enter the UEFA Cup in September's first round.
--------
I doubt Prso is going to be replaced, but you never know with Le Guen. I hope he isn't, I'm expecting him to be top scorer in the SPL this season.
