Gers 'failure' Rothen eyes Ibrox exit
The Frenchman has been on loan at Ibrox from Paris Saint-Germain since September and is contracted to see out the season with Walter Smith's side.[LNB]Having failed to hold down a regular slot, Rothen feels unwanted by the Scottish champions and has been left frustrated at being played out of position when called upon.[LNB]Now it appears the former France international will be on his way back to his homeland as both boss and player seek a January solution to ease the club's wage bill.[LNB]Rothen told L'Equipe: "I was named best player of the team by the fans. I asked for a talk with the coach, to ask what happens. [LNB]"He told me the best solution was a departure during the winter transfer market. Why? It remains a big question to me. [LNB]"I have played eight matches in a Rangers shirt this season, I have been named best match player three times while playing on the right flank and never in my best position.[LNB]"But Rangers have a €35million debt and they have to save money. The first one would be to spare six months on my wages."[LNB]The former Monaco man admits his spell in Glasgow has not worked out as he had hoped and is confident of putting an end to his nightmare.[LNB]"I must admit my stay in Scotland has been a failure, while I left (PSG) with a lot of ambition. I thought it would be a nice foreign experience. The result is I was completely wrong.[LNB]"I have some contacts, but nothing has been signed so far. Now I just want to find an exciting sporting challenge. I have such desire to play and have fun. [LNB]"I am just 31 years old and feel very fresh in my mind. I heard I could be a problem on a financial level but it is false. I am keen to make some efforts."[LNB]He added: "I am under contract with Rangers until (June) 2010, but really want to find another solution."[LNB][LNB] Scottish Premier Winner 2009/10 Win Outright: Rangers 8/15
