Fans were quick to praise the broadcaster’s “genius” for putting Souness back on their screens.

The former Rangers star left Sky Sports at the end of last season after 15 years as a pundit.

Reacting to Souness’ appearance during Channel 4’s coverage, one fan tweeted: “Love Souness already on @C4Sport.”

Another added: “Might be in a minority but whoever decided to put Graeme Souness on the C4 coverage for Scotland v England is a genius.”
