I'm a £3m Rangers mega flop running for mayor - I want to repay people of my poverty-stricken home city

Ex-Rangers midfielder Carlos Pena, 36, is running for mayor of Leon, Mexico, where he played before his failed spell at Ibrox.

Carlos Pena, who Rangers signed for £3 million in 2015 under Pedro Caixinha, has retired from football and is now pursuing a career in politics. The Mexican midfielder, who struggled during his time at Ibrox before loan spells in Mexico and stints across multiple countries, is campaigning to become mayor of Leon, the Mexican city where he played for four years before joining Rangers. Pena cited water scarcity, poor public transportation, and poverty as key issues he wants to address, saying he aims to repay the community that supported him during his playing career.
