Rangers transfer target Jose Cordoba was left out of Levski Sofia's squad for their latest match as he appears to edge closer to confirming a £3 million move to Ibrox.
The Panama international has been strongly linked with a move to Glasgow amid reports manager Philippe Clement has held talks with the central defender.

And the 22-year-old might have kicked his last ball for the Bulgarian club after he was left out of manager Nikolay Kostov's squad entirely for their weekend goalless draw with Cherno More.
Cordoba trained with the squad ahead of the game and was cleared as being fully fit, but was omitted from the squad for the trip to Varna and manager Kostov refused to give any reason why he didn't include Cordoba.
Levski still have three games left this season, but have nothing to play for as they sit in fourth place and are 11 points behind third spot.

Cordoba was reportedly invited as a guest of the club to attend Rangers' 4-1 victory over Kilmarnock last Sunday and seems certain to clinch a transfer to Glasgow as part of Clement's rebuilding for next season.
He won the Bulgarian League Best Defender award last year and has ten international caps to his name.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
