Graeme Souness was snapped getting the VIP treatment at Ibrox during the Motherwell disaster.
There were suggestions that the 71-year-old was in line to be the interim manager of the club following Philippe Clement's sacking, having already served as play-manager in his first coaching role in the 1980s and 90s.

Souness has opened up on his time in management, having not had a coaching job since leaving Newcastle in 2006.
