Rangers hero Nacho Novo will be pulling on his boots again - after signing for Corkerhill over-35s in Glasgow.
The Spaniard hung up his boots in 2017 after a final season with Glentoran, and has been a regular in the Rangers legends team since.
While playing for the side in a masters tournament in 2018 he suffered a heart attack, and was taken to a Berlin hospital for emergency surgery.
Thankfully the former Dundee striker made a full recovery, and it's now been announced that he's signed for Corkerhill over-35s.
The Central Regions Premier League side announced his signing on Thursday, stating that he'd agreed to join last week but had been unable to play due to other commitments.
Novo featured for the Rangers legends XI in
their defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.
The 40-year-old first came to Scotland in 2001 when he joined Raith Rovers from Spanish side Huesca.
Having scored 22 goals in 38 games, Novo earned a move to Dundee for a reported £100,000.
He spent two seasons on Tayside, scoring 34 times in 87 games before moving to Rangers for £450,000.
At Ibrox Novo won three SPL titles, two League Cups and the Scottish Cup, and was also part of the side which reached the UEFA Cup final in 2008.
It was the Spaniard who scored the winning penalty in the semi-final shootout with Fiorentina to reach the final in Manchester.
