NafisaJamie Vardy’s future is under a fierce spotlight as he prepares to leave Leicester City
Rangers legend Ally McCoist says he would take Jamie Vardy at Ibrox “in two minutes”.
Vardy will leave Leicester City when his contract at the King Power Stadium expires this summer.
He has already played his last match for the club, signing off in style with his 200th goal in his 500th appearance, as they beat Ipswich Town 2-0 on home soil last Sunday.
Vardy will not play when Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side face Bournemouth away on the final day of the Premier League season this Sunday.
Speaking about Vardy’s future on talkSPORT, McCoist said: “Something tells me that he’s got something organised.
“Whether it’s America or another club, I think he’ll have something organised.
Now, we were having this discussion yesterday, me and my Rangers mates. I would take him in two minutes at Rangers. I really, really would.
“I’d take him in two minutes.”
Asked if he thought Vardy could end up at Rangers, Gascoigne told casinobeats.com: “Possibly. Rangers are a tough team to play for. They expect you to be winning every game.
“But I’m sure he’d score some goals up there. Easy, no problem. Especially because he’s still got that pace.
Meanwhile, former Leicester and Scotland striker Paul Dickov thinks Vardy should snub any interest from Rangers or Celtic and stay in the Premier League.
He told gaming website 10Bet: “Go to Scotland? I don’t know. The obvious link-up is with Brendan (Rodgers) at Celtic after his time as manager at Leicester with Jamie.
“But I still think he’s got a lot to offer. You still see him even now, as a 38-year-old veteran, playing off the shoulders of centre-halves in the Premier League. He’s still buzzing around, closing people down, scoring goals.
“So I still think he’s got a lot to offer down here, whether that be in the Premier League or top-level Championship.”
