Claudio El Pajoro(The Bird) has been capped for Argentina 48 times and has scored 16 Goals for his Country. He hopes that his spell with Dundee will earn him further caps and a chance to extend his Goal tally.

He fell from grace when Passarella the Manager of the Argentinean National side ordered the players all to get their haircut.

Claudio was in the International Football wilderness for two years, when Passarella finally gave Claudio another chance for the World Cup Qualifiers in 1996. (His long locks still in place.) This was at a time when Claudio was at Boca Juniors, along side close friend Diego Maradonna.

Claudio is fluent in both Spanish and Italian, with a spattering of Portuguese and English to boot.

It was only a matter of time before one of the Glasgow giants decided it was time to steal the bird away and Rangers never disappointed us, with their usual buy the oppositions stars, Football policy.
