Brian Laudrup 25 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 JEAN-ALAIN BOUMSONG last night offered to return to Rangers on a cut-price contract if it helps Walter Smith resurrect the club.The French defender is so keen to go back to his crisis-ravaged former club he’s even proposed a deal that would see him paid almost half his wages in future shares of the Ibrox newco.Boumsong made the incredible gesture in an interview with Record Sport here at Euro 2012, where he’s a TV pundit for Al Jazeera.Now 32 and at Greek giants Panathinaikos– who are going through a financial meltdown of their own – he spoke of his shock at Rangers’ liquidation and distress over EBT payments.servicesAnd after learning legendary figure Smith was attempting to rescue the club by spearheading an attempted leadership coup to hijack the Charles Green takeover, Boumsong was quick to offer his own services.With Rangerscontinuing to contest a 12-month signing ban, the ex-Newcastle and Juventus defender said: “I only played for Rangers for six months but it was a fantastic time for me.“If I had the opportunity to go back to Rangers I would do so right away.“I’m doing well at Panathinaikos – we finished high enough to reach the Champions Leaguequalifiers. It’s a big club but Rangers are bigger. My contract ends next season. I have another year but I’m almost free as the club has some big financial problems.“Greece is a difficult place right now, we haven’t been paid for months. It’s hard times, I need to feed my family.“But if I’d the opportunity to go back to Rangers it would not be a question of money as I know they are struggling.”Boumsong says he’d play for almost half what he’s worth in return for a stake in the business – and insists he wouldn’t do it for any other club.He added: “I don’t know the latest situation on whether Rangers can sign any new players but I know Walter Smith is trying to buy the club.“Everyone knows who he is, he has Rangers in his heart and that’s what Rangers needs.“I feel that way too so maybe we could talk, why not? Maybe part of my salary could be given to me in shares.“Instead of 100 per cent I could take 60 and the 40 be paid in shares of the new company.“I am still fit and believe I can play for another two or three years at a high level.“Rangers have some rich supporters in Scotland. Why has it taken until now for them to bring their money together?“Anyone else who loves the club has to do what they can to help.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRW. 5,631 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nice to hear.Although, if you have a player at your club and they come out with "I'm doing well. It’s a big club but Rangers are bigger." How gutted would you be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
