Ex-Rangers legend Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne has issued a powerful message to online trolls who have been sending him abuse since he made a big return to social media this week.
The former Ibrox hero also urged his followers: “Always remember there’s always someone out there worse than us so make a difference and ask someone you know or even a stranger if they’re okay, make them feel special.”

Gazza played for Rangers between 1995 and 1998. In recent years, however, he has become more known for his battle with drugs and alcoholism.
The Evening Times previously reported how the ex-footballer unveiled a healthy new look for 2018 this week as he came roaring back to life on Twitter and Instagram.

Having started the week with just 4,000 followers - and now sitting at almost 60,000 - he looked fresh-faced as he told his followers: “Don’t worry it’s me. Gazza’s back.”
The post went down well with many of his followers as dozens clamoured to commend him on looking well.
