Paul Gascoigne yesterday denied he is set to join Aston Villa - even though he was attending the Midlanders' clash with Arsenal at Highbury.The England midfielder has been linked with a £4 million move to Villa Park. But Gascoigne said he had taken his son to yesterday's Premiership game at Highbury as a birthday treat for him and joked: "With Aston Villa coming up, I told Walter Smith, `you're not going to believe this but I'd promised to bring him to Arsenal.'"I said - `I'm not going to take him because of everything' - but he said, `go along'."I just thank God I've got an understanding manager," said Gascoigne.The player added: "I've signed a three-year contract with Rangers, I'm very happy where I am."The couple of games at the start of the season weren't going too well but I got a couple of rollockings from the gaffer and things are going pretty well now." And Gascoigne dismissed reports that England coach Glenn Hoddle wants him to head back to England, saying: "Glenn has never said that to me. I just feel sorry for our manager and the chairman because every time I play for England, there's speculation."I've spoken to Glenn Hoddle and he and the gaffer have spoken, so there's no problem."Villa manager Brian Little responded to Gascoigne's comments by insisting: "I don't think I've ever talked about Paul. Good luck to him - I'm delighted for him. I've never been drawn about him these last couple of weeks."
