Rangers boss Walter Smith has abandoned plans to sign Danny Shittu from Watford.

The Ibrox side received permission to talk to the Nigeria defender after having a bid, thought to be £1.5million, accepted by the Championship side.

However, Shittu has rejected the club's contract offer despite initially expressing a willingness to move north.

Smith told Rangers World: "There have been negotiations going on between the club and the player for quite a period of time and we have not managed to reach an agreement, so it looks as if that one is finished."

It's obviously too cold and miserable up North for him. He's much better off down south in Watford. You will be missing a goalscorer as well, not just a quality defender!!

He obviously thinks so as well seeing as the amount of money he wants is more that Rangers can give him and likely more than his current team can either.
