There's a pattern emerging in this list, one that distinctly shows Glasgow Rangers seem to like signing defenders who can't defend, doing the complete opposite of what they're actually supposed to. Another of these failures was young Karl Svensson, someone who arrived in Glasgow with a reputation that seemed to suggest he'd become a good player somewhere down the line. Signed by Paul Le Guen, Svensson made 27 first team appearances, many of which were a disaster to the fans watching. Even though he was young and quick, Svensson was far too naive to succeed, and interviews with him showed that he didn't have the stomach for the fight either. Remarking that he one day dreamed of playing in England's top flight, and hinting that fans should stop getting on his back, even the cumbersome Andreas Velicka of Hearts (and soon to be of Rangers) ripped him to shreds during games. Svensson was an aberration, and a perfect example of Le Guen's failure to read the Scottish game and how to play it.
