Rangers set for fresh talks with Graeme Souness over sensational Ibrox return as James Bisgrove lines up role

RANGERS are set for fresh talks with Graeme Souness about an Ibrox return.

The 70-year-old has been a visitor at Ibrox recently and was linked with a comeback to his old club as sporting director when Ross Wilson departed.

Souness no longer has broadcast commitments following his decision to step back from Sky last season so is free to play a role at the team he played for and bossed in the 1980s.

Rangers are eager to get him involved, with new chief executive James Bisgrove suggesting an ambassadorial role could be thrown his way in future. Gers bosses plan to sit down with Souey for talks.

Souness would return to Ibrox in some capacity but only if the post was worthwhile and meaningful.

Gers boss Michael Beale is hands-on in the transfer market and doing much of the work that former Wilson did.

Souness revealed he wanted to stay on with Sky Sports longer after the announcement of his shock departure from the broadcaster.

He fought back tears during his final appearance on Sky back in April after 15 years on the platform.

The footy legend teased a new job when asked if he would miss working at Sky.

He said: “Yes. But I’m talking to other people and we’ll go again. There’s life in the old dog yet.”

Meanwhile, former Rangers midfielder Alex Rae has opened up on how Paul Gascoigne helped him sober up.

He revealed: “He helped me remarkably to get my life back on track when we were going difficult times together in ’98.

“We were in rehab together and I was really struggling. I was going to do a runner after five days.

“The chap who was running it says ‘hang about a little bit, there’s a geezer coming back in, he’s already been in for a month and he’s doing an extra couple of days a week for the time that you’re in’.

“I was literally going to run out of the door on the Friday and he came in and got me under his wing and from there on in, I’ve managed to be on the straight and narrow.

“So I’m indebted to him for getting myself back on track.”
