Gascoigne playing for Rangers against Kilmarnock in 1997Paul Gascoigne's place in the Scottish Football Hall of Fame has been withdrawn after criticism and amid "concerns" over the former England and Rangers player's health. It emerged last week Gascoigne was one of the candidates suggested by the public before being chosen by a panel. However, it was reported some of the Scottish Football Association board would boycott the awards dinner. A Hall of Fame statement said "a number of factors" were behind the move. It read: "Further to consultation with the chair and members of the Scottish Football Hall of Fame committee, due to a number of factors including ongoing enquiries, and concerns over the state of Paul's health, it has been decided to withdraw the nomination of Paul Gascoigne at this time from this year's nomination process."
