Football - Scottish Premier League - 29/4/89 Rangers' manager Graeme Souness gives an interview Mandatory Credit: Action Images
It seems that someone inside Ibrox has decided that there is something in it to be associated with Graeme Souness.
Bar a five year stint in charge of Rangers he has spent all of his adult life in England, successfully as a player, with mixed results in management and latterly as a pundit.
Now and then he will pipe up with an interest in events at Ibrox while keeping a safe distance and certainly not investing any money despite apparent links to various consortiums.
Recently there has been speculation about a variety of roles for Souness at Ibrox which seemed mainly based on Sky Sports not renewing his contract. Switching from Bournemouth to Bearsden or Morningside seems an unlikely move despite his broad Scottish accent.
Quizzed about the Souness speculation incoming CEO James Bisgrove suggested an ambassador’s role, typically there has been no reply from the former Liverpool manager.

Today Souness announced his intention to swim the English channel for cancer, rather than wish him well a sizeable donation to the charity may have had much more impact.
He’ll be swimming in SHITE then, if it’s the English Channel. Swallowing excrement as opposed to talking it.
Seems apt to me.
This would not be a pr for the “man’s game” would it?. Surely not or has experience of hundom cynicism caught up with me
