Former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher has put his weight behind Ian Woosnam's bid to be named as the European skipper for next year's Cup at the K Club.
Woosnam and Nick Faldo have only one more day to wait before discovering which of them is to be the next captain at the K Club in September next year.
Although Sandy Lyle has also thrown his hate into the ring, the vote taken in Dubai by the players' committee is firmly expected to come down to the two former partners with 19 caps between them.
Gallacher believes that Woosnam has the backing of the European Tour players, but also claimed that Faldo should be named skipper for the 2007 Ryder Cup.
"The feeling is that Ian Woosnam just might be more in touch with the present group of players," Gallagher told Sky Sports News.
"Nick had great success in America, is well known in America, and in four years' time there will be different players in the frame, people like Luke Donald and Ian Poulter who looked up to Nick Faldo as their hero."
