Newly-promoted Ligue 1 outfit Caen have swooped for Rangers defender Karl Svensson.

The 23-year-old Swedish international moved to Ibrox last May from IFK Gothenburg, but failed to establish himself in the first-team.

Svensson was one of former Gers boss Paul Le Guen's signings, but was not part of Walter Smith's plans.

He has signed a three-year deal with the French club after completing his move for an undisclosed fee.
