Rangers have taken German winger David Odonkor on trial after the 27-year-old was released by Real Betis.

The former Borussia Dortmund player will spend a few days with Ally McCoist's side after a painful five years in Spain. Odonkor, capped 16 times in 2006-08, had several knee operations while at Betis. Rangers signed the winger Juanma Ortiz this summer but are short of natural wide men.

Dundee United's manager Peter Houston says his much coveted striker David Goodwillie has indicated his preference is for a move to England.
