Pena was allowed to leave Rangers on loan by caretaker boss Graeme Murty, but could be back at Ibrox six months earlier than planned.
Rangers fans are reacting on Twitter to talk of an early Ibrox return for loaned out midfielder Carlos Pena.
Pena was banished to Cruz Azul in January, until the end of 2018 – a move which saw him reunited with the manager who brought him to Rangers only six months previously, Pedro Caixinha.
But things have not gone to plan for Pena in the Mexican capital, where his poor form has seen him booed by his own supporters.
The 28-year-old caused further outrage this week when he was alleged to have been caught buying beer on his way home from training.
And speaking at a press conference this week Caixinha told Marca he’s prepared to terminate Pena’s loan deal six months early, should his conduct fail to improve.
“If this type of behavior reoccurs, I’ll say to him ‘Thank you and goodbye’, and we’ll end his contract,” affirmed the Portuguese.
And the following Rangers fans will hope that Pena can buck his ideas up.
Pena scored five goals in 14 games for Rangers, although his performances did not always deliver – much to the Ibrox faithful’s frustration.
His fellow Mexican, Eduardo Herrera, remains at Rangers – but has yet to make a Premiership appearance this calendar year.
