In an interview with Sky Sports, the Colombian internationalist insisted he hadn't had the same problem with officials in Finland or his homeland.

"Now that I have these problems I know I have to keep working to find a way to solve them," he added.

Explaining that his style of play seemed to get him in trouble, he continued: "I'm a very physical player, which has been a benefit to me throughout my career - I can withstand rough hits and hard tackles, I don't fear any opponent. I've never shied away from a fight, ever since I was a kid, but I'm very different off the pitch."

The former HJK Helsini frontman has been sent off seven times for Rangers albeit one was rescinded on appeal, but he insists he won't alter the way he plays.

"On the pitch I try to show my passion, to make the defenders feel my presence and to fight for the crowd," he said.

"I can see how [my disciplinary record] could affect a potential move but I also know that scoring goals can always open more doors."
