Celebrity Big Brother bosses are eyeing up a Rangers legend to take part in the new series, it has been reported.

After recruiting big names such as X Factor legends Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh for the reboot, executives are said to be looking at Paul Gascoigne to take part in next year's second run, the Sun reports. 

Glasgow Times:

A source told the paper: “Bosses are full steam ahead planning this autumn’s civilian series but there’s also one eye on 2025’s celebrity series because the best names get booked up.

“It’s super-early days but names are being discussed, and candidates sounded out.

“Gazza is considered a top priority after the brilliant reception he received on Channel 4 reality show Scared Of The Dark last year, whether it be for this series or one down the line.

“But bosses are also talking to a British pop star who’s had hits worldwide.

“They’re a big name, instantly known and will surprise people.

“They know everyone was wowed by the inclusion of Sharon and Louis for series one and know they need big-hitters for season two.

“Everyone is really chuffed with how series one went but the intention is for two to be bigger, bolder and better than ever to keep the ball rolling."

We previously reported that Gazza made a surprise appearance in the Gers' Christmas advert last year.

'This Christmas It's Rangers All The Way' featured a host of first-team players, including captain James Tavernier, Jack Butland, Todd Cantwell, Nicolas Raskin and Rabbi Matondo.

Gascoigne joined Ibrox heroes such as Barry Ferguson, Kenny Miller, Marvin Andrews and John Brown.
