RANGERS flop Carlos Pena's new club's president has urged their fans to call him if they spot the Mexican international in the pub.
But he's been full of praise for the ex-Ibrox midfielder's behaviour since signing for Correcaminos.
Pena celebrated his 30th birthday this week and has got his career back on track after a disastrous last few years since his move to Ibrox two-and-a-half years ago.
He ended a 16-month exile from football last month when he signed for Correcaminos.
After being released by Rangers, he failed to kick a ball for Polish second division outfit GKS Tychy, because of a dispute over his wages.
Pena's contract at Ibrox was terminated by mutual consent after two disastrous loan spells in Mexico blighted by alcohol problems.
And Correcaminos president, Miguel Mansur, has underlined the unusual way he can guarantee Pena keeps on track in Mexico.
He said: "When he signed him, I was very clear with him and warned him we'd be watching him.
"He won't relapse here because of the fans.
"Here in Ciudad Victoria, the people will look after him and protect him.
I did a forum with the fans when he signed and told them that if any of them spotted him in a bar or drinking, they had to go straight to me immediately and tell me.
Do you know how many fans have contacted me since then? None.
"He is committed to football and this club. He loves his family too and I believe he is more settled now than he's ever been.
"Carlos is a leader in the dressing room and it's a privilege to work with him."
