Gary McAllister believes Jon Flanagan deserves a second chance

Gary McAllister believes that Jon Flanagan deserves a second chance despite his unacceptable actions.

Flanagan is set to join Rangers this week to undergo a medical after being released by Liverpool this summer. McAllister is Gerrard’s assistant at the Ibrox, and that will lead to Flanagan getting another shot at football in Scotland.

“It was unacceptable, most definitely,” McAllister said.

“I have a little bit of an in because I worked at Liverpool but it was unacceptable and a really poor decision that he made in that episode.

“But, he deserves a second chance. He showed remorse, he put his hand up and has taken his punishment. He wants to get on with his life and his football life.

“The club is in talks and we are in the medical stages at the moment and that is going to be in-depth because Jon Flanagan has had problems in the past with parts of his body.

“It is deep and thorough and that is where it’s at. He has been unlucky with injuries. It looked as though he was going to go and jump ahead and flourish but he has been hampered by injuries, hence the medical.”
