Bale should go to Scotland for the golf, says McCoist
For a golf nut like Gareth Bale, Scotland is known for its links. So how about this one – the Wales legend mixing the ranges with Rangers?
The Real Madrid outcast – reportedly targeted by Spurs, Newcastle, Southampton Cardiff City and the MLS – needs a larger slice of regular football to keep him sharp for this winter’s World Cup.
There’s a “fairway” to go before the 32-year-old has to decide – as he will only depart Real once his contract expires on June 30.
But ex-Tartan Army poacher McCoist pitched in strongly for his old club.
He told talkSPORT: “If I was Rangers, I’d go offer him something as well.
“Listen, he’s at a stage in his life he wants to enjoy himself. We all know he’s a big golf fan, we’ve got the best golf courses.
“I’d bring him up here and say: ‘Look, have a year up here’. The fans will love him, absolutely love him.”
