Weir full of admiration for Man Utd veteran pair Giggs, Scholes

Rangers defender David Weir is impressed by the longevity of Manchester United pair Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.

At the age of 40, Weir knows a thing or two about remaining at the top of your game in the latter stages of your career and his experience could be invaluable for the Scottish champions at Old Trafford.

And the defender, although well aware that every player within United's ranks will be dangerous, believes that the more experienced campaigners could be the ones to watch in the much-hyped all-British encounter.

Weir said: "Scholes and Giggs have been fantastic. Their careers at the top level and the consistency they have shown and desire is amazing.

"To play at a club of this size is difficult and to do it for the whole of your career is an unbelievable achievement. They pop up at big moments and influence the game and change it.

"You cannot praise them too highly. They are United's most dangerous players because they have seen it all before and know what it takes. It is great to have that in your dressing room."
