Rangers legend Graeme Souness spotted at family-run Glasgow restaurant

Scotland footballing legend and ex-Rangers star Graeme Souness was spotted at a family-run restaurant in Glasgow on Friday.

The European Cup-winning former Gers manager and former Liverpool captain visited Caprese Don Costanzo Italian restaurant in Woodlands. The once fearsome midfield hard-man was all smiles as he posed with staff for a picture.

Mr Souness, who now lives in Dorset, was returning for another visit to the small Italian restaurant on Woodside Crescent near Kelvingrove Park. The highly-rated venue, founded more than 40 years ago in the city centre, said it was a 'pleasure' to host the three-time European Cup winner.

Mr Souness, who represented Scotland at three World Cups, was recently honoured for his services to football and charity by the Prince of Wales on Tuesday, November 12, as he received a CBE. The 71-year-old is the vice-president of Debra UK, which raises awareness of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch.

Writing on Instagram, the restaurant said: "Great to see Graeme Souness again last night, a pleasure hosting the gents as always."

The restaurant has become a favourite with footballers of all stripes, with Rangers legend Ally McCoist, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and former Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou all dining at the restaurant over the last few years.
