JACK WILSHERE admits a deal with Rangers wouldn't be his 'first choice' this season as he distanced himself from a move to Ibrox.
The midfielder is currently a free agent following his release from West Ham United at the end of the transfer window.
Wilshere has yet to put pen-to-paper on a move to kickstart his career but has acknowledged the attraction of playing for Steven Gerrard.
"It would interest me because it is Steven Gerrard, and that is no disrespect to Scotland." Wilshere told Dubai Eye radio.
"My grandad married a Scottish woman, like, 30 years ago. She is like my nan and that is all I have known growing up.
"Again, it never crossed my mind playing there. But now that Gerrard is there...
"The door definitely isn't closed but, at the same time, it wouldn't be my first choice."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
