Rangers have confirmed that they have terminated the contract of striker Francisco Sandaza.

The 28-year-old Spaniard was recently suspended by the club after he claimed in a secretly recorded conversation that he was only there for the money.

"Francisco spoke at length to someone posing as an agent and engaged in a conversation which the club believes to be a material breach of his contract of employment," read a statement on Rangers' official website.

"The player was suspended but after careful consideration and a hearing with Francisco and his representatives, the club, and our advisors, believe that dismissal is the appropriate course of action."

Sandaza had scored two goals in 18 appearances for Rangers this season before he was suspended.
