Gazza offers to play for McCoist
The 45-year-old has fought a long battle against alcohol and recently went 18 months without touching a drop.
Gascoigne spent almost three seasons at Ibrox under Walter Smith and would love to be re-united with his former team-mate Ally McCoist.
“I’ll play for Rangers next season,” Gazza told The Sun. “I will be there next season supporting Coisty and his team.
“And I’ll you this — if I can get my hip sorted I’ll make myself available for a few games in the Third Division if Coisty needs me. There is no better time to play for Rangers than right now.”
The Geordie added: “I can honestly say that if I had just played in a tournament like the European Championship finals and I had the chance to sign for Real Madrid, Barcelona or Rangers I would choose Rangers because of Coisty and the fans.
“I had the best time of my life at Rangers. I lived next door to Coisty for four years and I know he is Rangers through and through.
“It wouldn’t matter if the club was in the Sunday league, he would still manage them for nothing. I am convinced he will make the club great again.”
McCoist voiced his frustrations of working with just six experienced players last week during a meeting with a group of supporters.
Eleven of last seasons’ Rangers first team squad have refused to transfer over to TUPE with Carlos Bocanegra, Maurice Edu and Gorin Doian still to decide whether to return to Glasgow.
As well as a lack of players Sevco’s pre-season plans have been upset after five friendlies scheduled for this month were all postponed by the host clubs.
