Thomas Galdames Rangers transfer journey that saw him VOMIT during tough Argentinian football introduction

Thomas Galdames played what is almost certainly his final game for Godoy Cruz as the Rangers target opened up on the tough demands of Argentinian football that made him physically SICK.

Chilean stopper Galdames - who is set to make his international debut next month for Chile - grabbed two assists and produced a Man of the Match performance as he helped his side to a 4-0 Copa Argentina win against El Porvenir.

Galdames posted an Argentinian song on his social media site which is traditionally sung to say farewell - and the Scottish Premiership could be his destination. He revealed last month how tough it was for him when he first arrived in Argentina from his local side in Chile, Union Espanola.

He recalled: "When I first signed for Godoy, we drove down with my dad and my brother - both of whom had played in Argentinian football. We were drinking and they told me about the demands they put on you here. I laughed it off. They told me that if I didn't be professional, I wouldn't last.
