Shittu celebrates scoring for Watford last season

Rangers have pulled out of a deal to sign Nigerian international defender Danny Shittu from Watford.

The 27-year-old was in talks with the Ibrox club after his club accepted a bid of around £1.5m.

But personal terms could not be agreed and Rangers have now ended their interest in the player.

Celtic have also been linked with a move for Shittu and several English Premier League clubs have made enquiries about the centre-half.

Shittu, who has 12 caps, joined Watford from Queens Park Rangers in 2006 and has previously had spells with Charlton and Blackpool.

Earlier this month Rangers extended the contracts of defenders Christian Dailly and David Weir while Andy Webster has made his move to Ibrox permanent having initially been on loan from Wigan.
