Pedro Mendes not planning Rangers exit

Pedro Mendes has told BBC Scotland he has no designs on leaving Rangers during the January transfer window.

In an exclusive interview the 30-year-old midfielder, who has been linked with Sporting Lisbon, said: "I've been reading some incredible stories.

"The only thing I know is that Martin Bain (Ibrox chief executive) had a call from the Sporting director of football a few weeks ago.

"I love Glasgow, the family loves Glasgow and Rangers is a great club."

Mendes has only recently returned to full training following a knee injury that has kept him out since October and is under contract at Rangers for another 18 months.

With Rangers currently mired in financial problems, it has been widely reported that a bid for the Portuguese playmaker would be welcomed.
