Weir played for Moyes at Everton before joining Rangers<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Manager David Moyes would welcome Rangers captain David Weir back to Everton in a coaching capacity.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 40-year-old is out of contract at Ibrox in the summer but has hinted at playing on next season. <\/p>\n

“I would love to have him back at Everton as part of my staff in the future, if he’s interested,” Moyes told BBC Radio Scotland. <\/p>\n

“He’s a great professional and someone who all the players at Everton and Rangers should look up to.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Weir, who played under Moyes at Goodison Park before his switch to Rangers in 2007, lifted the Co-operative Insurance Cup on Sunday. <\/p>\n

And the veteran defender turned in an assured display throughout a gruelling 120 minutes as Rangers beat Celtic 2-1 after extra time. <\/p>\n

“I thought last year he would probably call it a day,” said Moyes, who analysed the game for BBC One Scotland’s television coverage.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tNobody should ever be down on the Old Firm. They are two of the biggest clubs in the world<\/b>

<\/p>\n

“He may only have 10 or 12 weeks to go as a player. But on that performance, he’s doing great and I think Davie will know best when the time comes.” <\/p>\n

Moyes was also fulsome in his praise of Rangers manager Walter Smith, who he succeeded at Everton in 2002. <\/p>\n

Smith, who will step down at the end of this campaign, has now delivered 20 trophies over his two spells with the Glasgow giants. <\/p>\n

“He’s done a brilliant job with a team that hasn’t changed an awful lot in recent years due to a lack of money,” said Moyes. <\/p>\n

“He has to work with what he has. I know better than most what that’s like.<\/p>\n

Moyes said Sunday’s Old Firm final was a “good advert for Scottish football”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

“He’s brought in the odd player on loan, or for very little money. <\/p>\n

“Just look at his trophy cabinet, that tells you how good he is.” <\/p>\n

Moyes thoroughly enjoyed the game at Hampden and believes Rangers and Celtic should be widely respected for their achievements. <\/p>\n

“It was a really good advert for Scottish football,” he added. <\/p>\n

“Nobody should ever be down on the Old Firm. They are two of the biggest clubs in the world, they really are. <\/p>\n

“If both of these clubs were playing in the Premiership and had the money we do, I’m sure they would both be up in the top six places. <\/p>\n

“But they don’t and the level of players is maybe not at the same level as would be playing every week in the Premier League.”\n<\/p>\n
