Weir would welcome Everton return

Weir made 269 appearances in almost eight years with Everton

Rangers defender David Weir says he would be honoured to return to Everton at the end of his playing career.

The 41-year-old, who is currently considering his future at Ibrox, spent almost eight years at Goodison Park after signing in February 1999.

“It all depends what’s on offer,” Weir told BBC Radio Merseyside.

“Obviously it would be a great honour to come and work for Everton, I can’t deny that. It’s a massive club and it’s got a big place in my heart.”

The Scotland international, who has also had spells with Hearts and Falkirk, made 57 appearances for club and country this season.

His current deal at Rangers is due to expire in the summer but he has indicated his desire to play on.

“I’ve not ruled it out, so you never know,” said Weir.

“I’ll have a couple of weeks rest and then take it from there.”
