Former Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp, now at Tottenham, is being linked with RangersPedro Mendes. Mendes played under Redknapp at Pompey, but the Portugal international said, "The only thing I can say at the moment is that I'm happy with the move, I'm happy with the club.

"I came to Scotland and found a great club, great players and great people working for the club.

"Everyone at the club has helped me and my family very much."

The Portugal international also insisted he was happy with the standard of football in the SPL.

"If you are not in the league, you do not know how hard it is to play in," the 29-year-old said.

"I'm happy with the challenge. We have the challenge to win the title this year and I'm happy to be trying to win it."
