Carlos Pena sealed his return to Mexico, ending a difficult spell at Rangers.

Pena has left Rangers on loan for Cruz Azul, and is expected to move permanently afterwards.

His performances at Rangers underwhelmed, and Pena knows he must try to restore his reputation.

Quizzed about his spell in Scotland, Pena said that while it had not gone to plan, he has learned from the experience.

Carlos Alberto Pena of Rangers scores the opening goal of the game during the Betfred League Cup Quarter Final at Firhill Stadium on September 19, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

He told El Universal: “I’m happy to be here, happy. I come here with the intention of being a good player.

“I have made mistakes, but I have matured. We have to see the present, and I am here to work.”

Pena is reunited with former Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha, and could make his debut as soon as this week if his international clearance arrives.

The attacker is hoping to re-establish his international ambitions ahead of the World Cup.

At Rangers he was too inconsistent to win the fans over, and admitted he struggled with the change in culture.

Rangers fans were understandably disappointed how his spell at the club turned out, but it is better for all parties to cut their losses now.
