Rangers Weir finds age a great motivator

David Weir admits a need to prove he can still play at the top level with Rangers at the age of 40 is motivation enough. The veteran defender is relishing the challenge after penning a new one-year deal this summer.

He told Real Radio: "Being honest, every week it's a motivation just to prove to myself that I can still do it and to prove to everyone else that I can still do it. Hopefully that gives me an edge and the motivation to keep going."

Asked if he still feels anticipation ahead of each match, he added: "Of course, you still get that every week. If you don't get that feeling, I think that would be the time to call it a day. I think everyone should have that and I've definitely got it."
