Gascoigne out of Morton running

Gascoigne was also linked with Cowdenbeath and Raith Rovers

Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne has been ruled out of the race to become manager of Morton - because he lacks coaching credentials.

Gascoigne sent his CV to the Second Division club's chairman, Douglas Rae.

But Rae told the Sun newspaper: "I wrote to Gazza stressing that we were unable to consider him because of his lack of qualifications."

Gascoigne, who quit as player-coach of Boston United, was also linked with Cowdenbeath and Raith Rovers.
