Gers miss out on Faubert

Bordeaux expect in-demand midfielder Julien Faubert to leave the club next week, but say that Rangers are unlikely to be his next destination.
The 23-year-old France international is now expected to head to Italy, with Girondins president, Jean-Louis Triaud, having failed to persuade Faubert to stay put.
He said: "It's simple. The coach (Laurent Blanc) wanted to keep the player but the player wanted to play for another club.
"Given the player's wishes, we are prepared to consider it but it would need to be a significant bid.
"With Rangers the proposition was not significant for Bordeaux. So I don't think the deal will be done."
