ONE of world football's most colourful characters will be in Galashiels this weekend.

And we have two pairs of tickets to give away.

Paul Gascoigne was widely regarded as one of the best footballers in the world during the mid 1990s.

The entertaining midfielder won 57 caps for England during a glittering career that took him from Newcastle and Spurs to Lazio and Everton.

But, for many, his most prolific time was wearing the blue of Rangers – helping Walter Smith’s team win the double in the 1995-96 season.

As well as scoring 30 goals in 74 appearances for the Ibrox side, he became a firm fans’ favourite with his on- and off-the-field antics.

On Sunday he will be guest of honour in the Volunteer Hall, where, after the televised Old Firm match, he will discuss his career.

Gascoigne will be joined on stage by professional snooker player and present-day commentator Willie Thorne as well as after-dinner commedian Scott Glynn.

Platinum and VIP tickets for the event are already sold out, but a limited number of standard tickets are still available by phoning 07958642751.

Alternatively, by entering our competition you could win a pair of tickets if you can tell us which non-league club Paul Gascoigne played for before his retirement in 2004.

Just email the answer to editorial@bordertelegraph.com and we'll announce the winners on Friday morning.

The event is for over 18s only.
