I was listening to people who were part of the national team &#8211; I did what they advised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;But now I can follow my own dream and I won&#8217;t let other people tell me what is best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I know myself what will make me happy. I was so happy at Rangers and this time, if I get the chance to return, then I will follow what I want to do.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The defender also spoke of why a potential move to the Ibrox is such an attractive proposition to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;It&#8217;s exciting because Rangers, for me, has so many good memories,&#8221; said Cuellar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;It&#8217;s exciting if there is a possibility to go back because all of those good memories come back &#8211; the city, the club, the people, how much they loved me and how much I loved them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Then there is the Champions League and the chance to win trophies again. Who wouldn&#8217;t be excited about something like that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The player would also be eager to work under Ally McCoist who was part of the coaching staff when Cuellar played for the Scottish champions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He continued: &#8220;I had a good relationship with Ally McCoist. He is a great personality and I think it would be good fun to work under him as manager. But that doesn&#8217;t mean it would be one big joke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;The thing about Ally is that he knows how to separate the jokes from the work. I saw that in my time in Glasgow. I think he will make an excellent Rangers manager.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cuellar may also be looking for more regular football at Rangers as he played only 14 games in all competitions during an injury-stricken season, unable to move past Richard Dunne and James Collins in the pecking order.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>See more here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/06\/08\/2523123\/aston-villa-defender-carlos-cuellar-eyeing-dream-return-to\" title=\"Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar eyeing \u2018dream\u2019 return to SPL champions Rangers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar eyeing \u2018dream\u2019 return to SPL champions Rangers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Edward Tibbles 8 Jun 2011 11:44:00 Carlos Cuellar, Aston Villa (PA) Related Links Teams Players Carlos Cuellar is hoping to end his spell at Aston Villa to return to Scotland with former team Rangers .
