STUART MCCALL is ready to make his return to management in England despite admitting it would be ‘difficult’ to take charge of another club after leaving Rangers.

The former Light Blues midfielder has been out of the domestic dugout since departing Ibrox twelve months ago but is now in the running to become the new boss of Bradford.

And McCall is confident the time is right for him to get back into club football as he looks to take the next step in career south of the border.

He said: “Being away for 12 days with Scotland and back on the training field reminded me what it’s all about. I’m a coach and a manager and I want to be out there working with the players.

“I’ve had a bit of time out since Rangers. There have been opportunities north and south of the border but once you’ve been at Rangers and had 50,000 people there it’s difficult to go elsewhere.

“But I always said that I would actively look to get back in this summer. I want to get hold of a team and believe I could be successful with them.

“I was 52 [on Friday] and I still feel you need a lot of old values but with modern thinking. You need that mixture and that’s how I see myself personally.

“It’s very different to when I first went in at Bradford. Going into the bottom league and all the expectation around the place, it was hard when you were doing it for the first time.

“But I’ve gained so much experience since and I am not the same manager.”
