Paul Gascoigne had a wonderful response to the SFA’s decision to rescind his Scottish Football Hall of Fame nomination.

The former Rangers and England star was set to be inducted at a dinner in Glasgow on October 21.

But following reports that a number of the Scottish Football Association’s board members were set to avoid the event in relation to concerns over Gascoigne’s suitability for the honour, the Scottish Football Hall of Fame said last week that his nomination will not proceed.

A statement from organisers read: “Further to consultation with the chair and members of the Scottish Football Hall of Fame committee, due to a number of factors including ongoing enquiries, and concerns over the state of Paul’s health, it has been decided to withdraw the nomination of Paul Gascoigne at this time from this year’s nomination process.”

Gascoigne has since responded on Twitter, reminiscing over his wonderful times in Scotland with Rangers.

‘I played some of the best football of my career at Rangers and loved the support of the fans,’ Gascoigne tweeted.

‘I don’t need to be in the Scottish Hall of Fame to be recognised as one of the best.

‘I know I was one of the best.’
