Strachan gags Saints stars after Souness tunnel bust-up

GORDON STRACHAN yesterday gagged his Southampton players in an attempt to halt fresh revelations about Saturday’s tunnel bust-up between Graeme Souness and Dennis Rofe.

The Blackburn boss and Saints' coach argued during the south-coast side's 2-0 St Mary's victory and clashed again at the end of a game also marred by Andy Cole's red card and an on-pitch brawl.

The most controversial moment came at full-time when Souness squared up to Rofe the man he sacked when he was Southampton manager in 1996.
