 Olivier Bernard is out of Paul Le Guen's Ibrox plans |
Out-of-favour Olivier Bernard says he has not given up on fighting his way into Rangers' first-team plans, despite going on trial with Sheffield United. The Frenchman was chosen just once during the last six months of Alex McLeish's reign and has also been left out by new boss Paul Le Guen.
But the full-back said: "If I show enough character and desire I might get back in the team, you never know.
"But, at the same time, if Sheffield United want me then why not?"
Bernard played in the Premiership newcomers' 3-1 friendly defeat of Morton despite his desire to remain at Ibrox.
"I'm not looking for anything," said the 26-year-old, who has a year left of his contract.
"But, at the same time, I just want to play football. It's a difficult situation."
Bernard joined Rangers from Southampton last summer but played just 15 times, having failed to win back his place after three months out through injury.
"I've been playing a couple of games with the reserves, but it's not the same level," he added.
"So playing against Morton was a good opportunity for me to play a different type of game."
