Steven Gerrard linked with stunning move for football superstar

Rangers have today tentatively been shock linked with football superstar Ashley Cole after the former England international was freed by Roma.

The ex-Arsenal left back, who genuinely could be considered ‘world class’, is of course a former England team mate of Steven Gerrard, with odds currently standing at 14/1 of the defender making the stunning Bosman move to Govan.

The favourites are, predictably, the moneybags of USA and China’s respectively top flight leagues, but Aston Villa are also strongly in there and West Ham have a chance too.

The likelihood of Cole choosing rainy Glasgow on modest wages over the sunny climes of USA are borderline zero, but crazier things have happened (think Joey Barton) so we may still see a shock.

Ex-Arsenal Sky Sports pundit Ray Parlour reckons it would be a great move, and even we at Ibrox Noise would concede a 37-year old Ashley Cole is still pretty much better than anything else in that position in the SPL.

But whether this slightly implausible move can happen is another matter.
