Ally McCoist urges Rangers to make Gareth Bale a transfer offer and says the fans will 'love him'

Ally McCoist has urged Rangers to make Gareth Bale an offer to join the club.

The Wales superstar has just left Real Madrid and is looking for regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup later this year.

The 32-year-old revealed after the play-off final win over Ukraine he has 'loads' of offers on the table for next season.

Bale won the lot with Real Madrid - including five Champions League triumphs - but is ready for a new adventure.

McCoist reckons a spell in Glasgow with Rangers would be the perfect move and he would be adored by the fans.

While he also made a quip over the quality of the golf courses on offer in Scotland.

He told talkSPORT: "If I was Rangers I’d go offer him something as well.

"Listen, he's at a stage in his life he wants to enjoy himself. We all know he's a big golf fan, we've got the best golf courses.

"I'd bring him up here and say: 'Look, have a year up here'. The fans will love him, absolutely love him.

"I know the argument would be there was disappointment with Aaron Ramsey, he wasn't 100 per cent fit, I get that.

"He's at the stage now, would America be an option?

"I don't know him so I can't speak for him but it looks like he's in a period where he wants to enjoy the last two or three years of his playing career.

"And that's what I want it to be. I don't want him to fizzle out as a bit-part player coming on for half an hour.

"He didn't look anything as sharp as he's been (against Ukraine) but he's not going to be.

"At the same time, come on guys, he's still got a lot to offer."
