Neil Warnock reveals the Celtic wind-up behind his Rangers fandom as veteran boss keen for chance at EITHER club

Neil Warnock has revealed his Rangers fandom comes with a Celtic wind-up in mind - but admits he'd love to take charge of EITHER club.

The 74-year-old is not calling time on his lengthy managerial career, where he has become a legend in the EFL at clubs like Sheffield United, QPR and more recently Huddersfield Town. But he has never set foot in Scotland as a gaffer, despite applications to work north of the border in the past. Glasgow's big two are a duo that capture his imagination and speaking on Sky Sports, has admitted he'd love a crack at either.

But his heart lies with Rangers, and it's all because of an Ally McCoist alliance against Celtic-daft former Scotland player Alan Brazil. Warnock said: "I've always wanted to have a go at Celtic or Rangers. I love Rangers and am a Rangers fan down here, only because Ally McCoist, Rangers, and me and him against Alan Brazil, who's mad Celtic. I remember going to Celtic when Gordon Strachan was there, he invited me into the office, great day.

"The passion, Celtic and Rangers fans. But I have always thought the same about the Edinburgh clubs, Nick Montgomery is one of my former players and now managing Hibernian, so I hope they do really well.

"I remember applying for the Aberdeen job and never got a reply. I remember asking one of my ex-players who was at Aberdeen what it's like up there. He went 'gaffer, it's the only place the Seagulls never land!

"Coldest place on earth! But I never got a reply but you just don't know what is around the corner. I am fascinated by challenges and if there is another one after Christmas, I will take it onboard."
