Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed that Rangers were one of two clubs who were keen on taking him away from his beloved Aston Villa.
The former striker claimed in 2018 that 'every player if they had the chance to play for Celtic would take it' and that playing at Parkhead could be a great next step after leaving the Villains that summer, having spent his entire career at the Birmingham club outside two loans in 2005. But he has revealed that two years earlier, it was Rangers who were after him.
The Light Blues manager at that time was Mark Warburton and he had just guided the Ibrox club back into the Premiership. But Agbonlahor - who officially retired in 2019 - tells talkSPORT that he wasn't interest in Rangers after Villa boss Roberto di Matteo's revelation. He said: “The season we got relegated I got myself so fit in the summer. I wanted to get the club back up in the next season.
