Souness, 70, 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 director of football Ross Wilson did.

Souness is based in Dorset but would go back to Glasgow on a regular basis for his boyhood club if the job made a difference.

The Scot revealed he wanted to stay on with Sky Sports longer.

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

Speaking to The Guardian, Souness was asked whether it was he or Sky's decision to part ways, to which he said: "Mutual. I mean, I was keen to stay another year.

"They thought it would be a good idea that we called it a day, gave their reasons and I accepted that and have zero complaints about Sky.

"I worked for them maybe 15 years solid – but it’s more like 20 years.

"They’ve been great for me, gave me the weekends to look forward to, the buzz of live football."

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

Rangers' second placed Scottish Premiership finish means they will enter the Champions League at the third qualifying round next season.
