Match Report | Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
23rd November 2024
Ex-Rangers and Hibernian midfielder, Russell Latapy (34) has signed for Dundee United until the end of the season. United Manager Ian McCall, said: "I am delighted to have someone of Russell's quality with the Club at this stage of the season. When this season has finished", the Manager continued, "we have to see whether or not Russell stays with us and whether, of course, he wants to stay. At this stage it is good news for all United supporters that we have managed to attract someone who has played the game at the highest level for both club and country."
Russell Latapy said: "I had a great time at Rangers and had no regrets going there whatsoever, but it is a superb opportunity for myself at this stage of the season to come and play for United. I know the Club is going through a difficult time at the moment with regard to our league position. But there are a very good bunch of players here and I am sure that if we play football, we can get out of the position we are in."
Latapy was brought to Edinburgh in season 1998/99 by the then Hibs Manager Alex McLeish, and his superb ability on the ball and having a happy knack of scoring goals made him an instant hit with supporters. He joined Rangers in season 2001/02 and made a contribution again in scoring goals over his season and half spell at the Ibrox Club.
