Graeme Souness hit the target more than a few times in his playing career at Rangers and Liverpool.
But the 70-year-old still has the eye for a bullseye after being invited to approach the oche with former PDC Champion Rob Cross and throw a few arrows ahead of the action getting started at Ally Pally at December 15. Reigning champ Michael Smith will begin the defence of his title during the pre-Christmas period in the sport’s flagship event, but Souness icon turned his hand momentarily to the arrows.
And while receiving a pep talk from Englishman Cross about how best to control his flight, the pundit hit a perfect bullseye on his second throw and turned to the group cheering him on and shouted: ‘I don’t know why you’re surprised’. There had been reports Souness would be involved at Ibrox in a role among the club chiefs after being drafted in by James Bisgrove and chairman John Bennett to conduct negotiations that led to Philippe Clement’s appointment as manager.
