The 35-year-old former Rangers, Celtic and Hearts star will host a press conference at Hampden Park amid reports he will confirm his retirement from the game.

Pressley is also expected to outline his future plans, which could include a move into full-time coaching - he is already an assistant to Scotland manager George Burley.

Pressley started his senior career at Rangers 19 years ago and went on to play for Coventry and Dundee United before joining Hearts in 1998.

It was at Tynecastle where he made the most impact, spending eight years there and becoming club captain. He left controversially at the end of 2006 after he, Craig Gordon and Paul Hartley publicly criticised majority shareholder Vladmir Romanov.

Pressley joined Celtic for 18 months, helping them win the SPL and Scottish Cup double in 2007. A four-month stint at Danish side Randers late last year was followed by a return to Falkirk, who he helped avoid SPL relegation this season.

  1. Pressley for me has been a good pro. Given his all at­ every club. I think he will make a top class manager in­ time if he does it right.
