I'm a Scot in Serie A - my boss tells me all about fierce Rangers-Celtic battles

Scotland striker Che Adams has revealed how his manager at Torino, Paolo Vanoli, still loves to recall his time at Rangers.

And he reckons the Old Firm game was the most 'fantastic' game he played in.

Vanoli had a two-year spell at Ibrox as a player before going into management, where he's been in charge of Spartak Moscow, Venezia and now Torino.

He signed Adams in the summer and the Scotland star has netted nine goals so far for the Turin club.

And Adams revealed Vanoli still has fond memories of his time at Ibrox from 2003.

He said: "The manager has told me his stories about Rangers and the Old Firm derbies against Celtic.

"I've never played in one, but he told me they are the most fantastic matches in the world.

"I think he enjoyed himself in Glasgow and I hope to take him to see a Scotland national team match one day.

"I think it is brilliant there are so many Scots in Serie A now.

"Before arriving in Turin, I spoke to Lewis Ferguson to understand what life is like in Italy and what the league is like.

"I also spoke about it with the others, for example with Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour, comparing notes on life off the pitch.

"I love it here and it's brilliant when the fans chant your name when you score a goal."
