Former Rangers striker makes Swiss move
The 24-year-old joined Rangers from Burnley for £3.5m in 2008 and scored 38 goals during his time at Ibrox.
Lafferty was one of ten players to inform Charles Green that he wouldn’t be transferring his contract from Rangers to Sevco.
The Northern Irish striker had been expected to return to the Championship but has agreed a three year deal with the Swiss side who also signed former Rangers midfielder Rino Gatusso.
More departures are expected from Ibrox in the next few days with American duo Carlos Bocanegra and Maurice Edu dropping strong hints that they won’t be returning to Scotland.
Both players have been given an extended break due to international commitments at the end of last season but Bocanegra has admitted that he’d find it hard to play outwith the SPL.
The defender said: “There’s a ruling coming up on whether we stay in the SPL or not and after that I will really have to do some serious thinking and speak to all the coaching staff and other players.
“Then I’ll know more and I’d like to stay if everything works out. The biggest thing for me with Rangers was Champions League football because I’d never been able to play that in my career.
“That was the one competition I’d never been a part of – so the lure of playing in the Champions League was a huge attraction. But now that has been taken away from us, I’ve come to terms with the fact it might never happen.
“I’m hoping that it works out and we can stay in the SPL but I can’t speculate further because I don’t know what the decision is going to be.”
