Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso has revealed that former James Bond actor Sean Connery asked him not to leave Rangers in 1998.
Connery, who died on Saturday, was a diehard Rangers fan when he wasn't busy playing the world's most famous spy and was often spotted around Ibrox.
Gattuso spent just over a year with Rangers at the beginning of his career in the late 90's before moving to Serie A side Salernitana and eventually AC Milan where his career really took off.
