A former Chelsea and Leeds United star has confessed to coming close to playing for both Rangers AND Celtic. The ex-Blues and Elland Road striker - who also had stints in his career at the likes of Atletico Madrid, Cardiff City and Middlesbrough - made the confession while admitting plying his trade in Scotland would have been something he would have LOVED to do.

His playing career was a successful one with recognition on the international stage over 20 times with the Netherlands. After playing, he took to the dugout at Royal Antwerp before his last four jobs came in England.

He started off his managerial career down south after his time in Belgium at Burton Albion before heading for Queen's Park Rangers.

It was then a stint at Northampton Town before his last gig came at Burton Albion. He is better known for his playing career than managerial but can you guess who it is?
