Rangers have ended their attempts to sign French-Algerian winger Salim Kerkar. The player impressed Rangers manager Walter Smith during a lengthy trial spell and the Scottish champions tried to sign him under the impression he was a free agent. However, French third division club Guegnon are seeking compensation for Kerkar, who left them in the summer. Smith told his club's official website: "Unfortunately for the lad we can't get a decision from FIFA in terms of compensation. "Guegnon have released him but they are still claiming compensation. "So, while this situation remains the same, we won't be taking him."
