Brazilian Given Scottish Run Out

Last updated : 15 July 2004 By Mark Heys
Former Middlesbrough and Glasgow Rangers midfielder Emerson was given a run out last night during Bolton's 2-0 win over Dundee United in Leyland.

The 32-year old Brazilian is on the lookout for a new club following a disappointing year at Ibrox with Rangers and Sam Allardyce is said to want to take an extended look at the Samba star as he looks to add numbers to his depleted squad.

Emerson has lost his way since his days in England at Boro as spells in Spain with both Atletico Madrid and Tenerife have not gone as planned but he will be hoping his trial spell with the Trotters is successful so that he can get his once promising career back on track. Allardyce is keen to add to his midfield following the departure of Per Frandsen to Wigan Athletic and Emerson could be what the Bolton manager is looking for if he impresses during his breif stay.
