Piers Morgan has commended Rangers legend Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne on the hero’s welcome he received at Ibrox at the weekend.

The divisive TV presenter also took a cheeky swipe at Celtic fans as he sent the ex-footballer a message on the “amazing ovation.”

Morgan, 52, wrote: “BRILLIANT! Great to see you looking so well mate @Paul_Gascoigne8 - and what an amazing ovation! That’s what you mean to football fans the world over (apart from Celtic...).”

Gazza, 50, was reunited with former Gers manager Walter Smith on Saturday as the pair returned to Ibrox to watch the game against Hibs.

The ex-striker and ex-boss came together in the stands after more than ten years.

Posting a video clip of the spine-tingling moment on Twitter - which has been watched almost 900,000 times - Gazza wrote: “What a great reception. Thanks to the Gers, love Gazza xx No surrender xx xx xx.”

Gazza has been giving his legions of fans an insight into everyday life as he continues to engage with them through Twitter.

The Evening Times previously reported how he unveiled a healthy new look for 2018 as he came roaring back to life on both Twitter and Instagram this month.

Having started the year with just 4,000 Twitter followers - and now sitting at almost over 283,000 - he looked fresh-faced as he told his followers: “Don’t worry it’s me. Gazza’s back.”

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 troubled ex-sportsman reduced TV viewers to tears in an open and candid interview last May.

Speaking to Morgan and co-host Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain, Gazza broke down as he labelled 2017 as his “worst ever.”

Recalling how he was “doing really well” in his battle against the bottle, he then spoke about how the suicide of his 22-year-old nephew Jay Kerrigan in 2016 set him back.
