On 16 June 2006, he moved to Rangers on a free transfer.[3] On 13 August, his blunder led directly to a 1–1 draw with Dunfermline.[4] Letizi soon redeemed himself in the next game, which saw Rangers achieve a 2–0 win against the Hearts. Unfortunately for the team, this match resulted in an injury for Letizi. After two months on the sidelines, Letizi controversially made an automatic return to the side despite impressive performances from his replacement Allan McGregor.[citation needed]
Manager Paul Le Guen had made it clear at the start of the season that Letizi was going to be number one, which was not entirely unexpected. But the decision was soon put under dubious light when a fumble on the 14 October 2006 gave Inverness Caledonian Thistle an unforeseen 1–0 win at Ibrox Stadium, and left Rangers 10 points behind Celtic after just ten Scottish Premier League matches.[5]
After the departure of Le Guen, Letizi's future at Rangers was uncertain and he was released from the club on the 30 January 2007 having featured in just eight matches during his six-month stay.[6] He then played for OGC Nice until his retirement in 2011.[7]
International career
Despite having been capped four times for the French national team, he never managed to displace Fabien Barthez. He was in France's preliminary squad of 28 players for the 1998 FIFA World Cup on home soil, but was left out by head coach Aimé Jacquet just before the tournament began. France went on to win.[8]
