A rejuvenated Damarcus Beasley was a force at both ends of the field (when not flubbing a sitter) in the Gold Cup; in its aftermath his rumored move to Scottish power Rangers FC has been completed:
"We can confirm that [Beasley] has joined Rangers," the club's Carol Patton told YA. "A work permit should be just a formality and upon its approval he will be a Rangers player for the next three seasons."A Rangers move is good and bad for US soccer fans. Beasley should be a regular for them, but the Scottish league is basically Rangers, Celtic, and then a bunch of teams that are probably no better than your average MLS side, so the high level competition so often cited as a necessary step for domestic players to become the international stars that lead the US to World Cup glory will be lacking. A mitigating factor: Rangers does have a virtual stranglehold on a Champions' League spot every year. Beasley remains the only American to play in a Champions League semifinal; hopefully he can add to his impressive record (four goals in 12 games) started at PSV.
