Striker to be assessed by Smith

Rangers boss Walter Smith has confirmed they have taken Honduran striker Georgie Welcome on trial. Welcome has been on Rangers' list of targets for some time with Gers assistant manager Ally McCoist watching him in action at the World Cup this summer. Rangers are in need of striking reinforcements after losing Kris Boyd and Welcome will be handed the chance to win a move to Ibrox even though he will not be able to play in any of their pre-season games because of work permit problems. "Georgie Welcome will be coming to join us next week on trial," Smith told the club's official website. "We can't play him in the games because of the work permit situation but we can look at him training. "We will see what happens and then take it from there."
