He told the BBC: “We had a bit of a setback last week.
“I had a bit of an episode 10 days ago, where I was watching England play Finland got up at half 10 to make a cup of tea, felt chest pains.
“Without dwelling on it three days later, I had a couple of stents put into one of my coronary arteries. I feel great.
“I’ve got a great cardiologist soil Talwar down in Bournemouth. And he’s looked after me for 15 years and I’m in great hands.”
Souness has had a history of heart trouble – having been diagnosed with coronary heart disease at 38 and also a triple bypass.
He had a stent fitted ten years later as another one of my arteries had become blocked.
Then in November 2015, Souness was rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack at his home.
The Sky Sports pundit wanted to take part in an event for DEBRA, the butterfly skin charity.
It included a cross channel swim and cycle from the channel to Westminster.
But Souness suffered a bad shoulder, needing an operation in January.
Still he planned to do the cycle part of the challenge last week until his chest pains hit.
Souness stop playing in 1991 to move into management with old side Rangers before stints in charge of Liverpool and Newcastle.
But more recently he has been a pundit for the likes of Sky, Channel 4 and ITV.
