Craig Moore is set to end his Ibrox career
|
Former Rangers captain Craig Moore has completed a move to Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Australian has signed an 18-month contract after his agent, John Viola, successfully completed the deal.
The move sees Moore reunited with former Rangers boss Dick Advocaat, who took over as manager of the German club in the summer.
Moore fell out with current Ibrox boss Alex McLeish earlier in the season over his decision to play in the Olympics.
The defender's decision to spend the month in Greece instead of Glasgow saw
him stripped of the captaincy and placed on the transfer-list by manager Alex
McLeish.
That led to speculation that he was set for a move south of the border but no deal materialised before the end of the August transfer window.
Moore's agent, John Viola, confirmed that the defender was courted by a number of Premiership sides but opted for the move to Germany because of the opportunity to work under Advocaat again.
He said: "Craig Moore has signed an 18-month contract with Borussia Monchengladbach.
"There were other interested parties from the Premiership but he wanted to
work under Dick Advocaat again."
