Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has responded to claims that Rangers made a move to sign him when he left Anfield in 2013.
Former Rangers boss and club legend Ally McCoist claims that the Ibrox side made a move for Carra with the Gers toiling in the lower leagues of Scottish football.
Carragher would take to Twitter to quip that he had “finally” found out that another club did want to sign him after his Liverpool career came to an end.
Carragher’s comments come after McCoist was discussing the legendary Anfield player and his career whilst speaking on talkSPORT.
McCoist was in charge at Rangers as the club tumbled down the divisions in 2012 and a year later, with the club in Scottish League One, the club’s greatest ever goal scorer tried to sign Carragher.
However, the iconic Liverpool defender opted to move into the media instead.
“I tried to sign him, believe it or not, when he was leaving Liverpool,” said McCoist [talkSPORT].
“I phoned Gary McAllister and tried to get him, but obviously he was going into the media circles and is doing very well at that.
“I’m not sure he was underrated, for me, as he was a top player. I know what you are saying that in some quarters he’s not given the credit he deserves, but certainly not in my case.
“I thought he was a top player. At that particular time, England had some fantastic centre-backs in John Terry and Rio Ferdinand and boys like that.
“You automatically think of the two boys I’ve mentioned, Terry and Ferdinand, so he might not make too many top tens in some people’s eyes. But that doesn’t make him not a top player.
“It probably highlights the players he was competing against at that time.”
Carragher made 737 appearances for Liverpool in a 17-year playing career with the club where he won two FA Cups, three League Cups, a UEFA Cup and the Champions League.
The centre-back also played alongside now Rangers manager Steven Gerrard for the length of his Anfield career and pips Stevie G as the club’s all-time record appearances holder.
After his former Liverpool teammate took the reins at Ibrox, Carra has also claimed that he’s now switched his allegiances from Celtic to Rangers north of the border.
