Souness has expressed an interest in taking charge of the Republic of Ireland as manager.

The former Liverpool and Rangers manager has been out of work since leaving Newcastle early last year.

The Football Association of Ireland are looking for a new manager following the departure of Steve Staunton last week.

Souness: "If I was offered the Ireland job, I would be very interested.

"Why wouldn't any manager be keen on leading such a great country's football team, working with a squad which I believe has a lot of potential?"

"As a former Rangers manager I would be a bit concerned at how some people might perceive me in Ireland."

But in many ways he changed the face of football in Glasgow by his signings. He broke the mould when he brought in English and ex-Celtic players.
