Gareth Bale transfer latest as Rangers move talked up by Ally McCoist as he details golfing attraction

Gareth Bale transfer latest as Rangers move talked up by Ally McCoist as he details golfing attraction

ALLY MCCOIST has urged Rangers to consider offering Gareth Bale a bumper contract to bring him to Ibrox this summer.

The Welshman, who says he has had “loads” of offers since his nine-year stay at Real Madrid came to an end, is currently considering his future.

Cardiff City have been heavily linked with a move, but McCoist reckons some of Scotland's stunning golf courses could lure the 32-year-old up north.

Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "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.

"I know the argument would be there was disappointment with Aaron Ramsey, he wasn't 100 per cent fit, I get that.

"He's at the stage now, would America be an option?

"I don't know him so I can't speak for him but it looks like he's a period where he wants to enjoy the last two or three years of his playing career."
