Maurice Edu moved one step closer to returning to national team status after going 90 minutes in a Rangers' 1-0 victory over St. Mirren in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. Edu stayed composed for most of the match, delivering tackles when needed, and occasionally getting into the attack. Edu even switched into the center back role for a short time. Rangers' Kris Boyd notched the winning goal just before the death to send Rangers through. Jose Francisco Torres' team suffered the opposite fate, losing 1-0 in a match to Chivas de Guadelajara. Unlike Edu, Torres went 71 minutes before coming off, filling his normal role in central midfield by creatively relaying the ball around the field and helping Pachuca keep possession.
Not all the American's got minutes however, as Stuart Holden was unable to even touch the bench of Bolton Wanderers.
