Rangers legend Graeme Souness spotted dining at family-run Italian restaurant in Glasgow

Rangers and Scotland legend Graeme Souness was pictured visiting a family-run Italian restaurant in Glasgow at the weekend.
The three-time European Cup winner and ex-Gers manager dined at highly-rated venue Caprese Don Costanzo in Woodlands on Friday and was all smiles as he posed with staff for a picture.
The Scottish footballing icon, who now resides in Dorset on the south west coast, returned to Glasgow to pay another visit to the snug Italian eatery on Woodside Crescent near Kelvingrove Park.
Founded over 40 years ago as Caprese in the city centre, staff at the restaurant described it as a “pleasure” to host the once fearsome midfield hard-man and former Liverpool captain.
Writing on their Instagram account, the restaurant said: “Great to see Graeme Souness again last night, a pleasure hosting the gents as always.”
Caprese Don Costanzo has become a firm favourite with many footballers, with the likes of fellow Ibrox hero Ally McCoist, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and former Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou all previously dining at the small venue in recent years.
It’s believed Souness was back in Scotland to watch the national team face Croatia in the UEFA Nations League at Hampden Park on Friday night, a game Steve Clarke’s side ran out 1-0 winners in courtesy of John McGinn’s 86th minute winner.
Souness, who represented his country at three World Cups, was honoured for his services to football and charity by the Prince of Wales last week as he received a CBE. The 71-year-old is the vice-president of Debra UK which raises awareness of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch.
