Celtic and Rangers legends set for World Cup roles as ITV announce punditry line-up for Qatar 2022

Some familiar faces to Celtic and Rangers fans will form part of the ITV coverage team for Qatar 2022.

The latest instalment of the World Cup is drawing nearer and kicks off on November 20 before coming to a conclusion exactly a week before Christmas (December 18). Steve Clarke's Scotland side won't be there but Rangers legends Graeme Souness and Ally McCoist will fly the flag for the nation, with the latter taking on co-commentary duties as the former takes part in the punditry team.

Former Celtic midfielder Roy Keane will also be part of that make-up while Parkhead hero John Hartson will work in a similar role to McCoist as his beloved Wales look for a successful tournament. Ian Wright, Gary Neville, Karen Carney, Joe Cole, Eniola Aluko, Nigel De Jong, Nadia Nadim and Hal Robson-Kanu are the other pundits involved for the biggest tournament in world football.
