Rangers reject Sochaux bid for Edu

Rangers manager Ally McCoist says the club has turned down an offer from French club Sochaux for American midfielder Maurice Edu.

McCoist says the bid, which he didn't disclose, ''was so far away that I would be very surprised if they came back in.''

Sochaux was hoping to add Edu to a roster that already includes American forward Charlie Davies, who spent last year on loan to Major League Soccer's D.C. United.

McCoist added Friday ''I can tell you that I want Maurice Edu to sign a new contract rather than go anywhere.''
