"Just watching the Old Firm derby. That atmosphere is next level. I would've loved to have had a stint at Rangers and played in this at Ibrox. Electric."
"This is a crazy one and many people can't believe this, but Real Madrid wanted me back in 2010. It was my last year at Liverpool, I wasn't going to sign a new contract, and things weren't really working out between Rafa Benitez and me. Madrid came in needing a right-winger for their squad depth, so we had that conversation and it was exciting, but then I asked myself if I wanted to go there and sit on the bench for three years or do I want to go somewhere to be a first team starter and kick-start my career again?"
Jermaine Pennant, a former English Premier League winger, played for Arsenal and Liverpool during his career, reaching a Champions League final with the latter. He had a trial with Hibernian under Neil Lennon and scored in a pre-season friendly but the club could not meet his wage demands. After watching Sunday's Old Firm derby at Ibrox, Pennant expressed on social media that he would have loved to play for Rangers, describing the atmosphere as electric and next level. Previously, he revealed turning down Real Madrid in 2010 when they sought a right-winger for squad depth, choosing instead to pursue first-team opportunities elsewhere.
