Former Rangers winger David Templeton is on trial with MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps after 18 months on the sidelines.

The winger - who also played with Hearts - was released by the Ibrox side in the summer, but last played for Rangers in the first league match of the the 2015/16 season against St Mirren .

Since then, the 28-year-old has suffered with injuries after making 84 appearances for Rangers in a four-year period.

Raith Rovers tried to sign him in the summer, but he needed more time to recover from a knee injury.

But he's back fully fit and is with the Vancouver Whitecaps squad now for their pre-season training camp in Wales.

He featured as a trialist in a bounce game yesterday against Cardiff City and is trying to impress manager Carl Robinson, with future games against Newport County and Bristol City next week.

Whitecaps had his Rangers colleague Fraser Aird on loan earlier this season, before he returned to Ibrox and signed for Falkirk.

Rangers splashed out £700,000 for Templeton in 2012 just days after he netted for Hearts at Anfield against Liverpool in the Europa League.

But his career has stalled through injuries and he could be set to relaunch it in North America.
