out of all the people who could comment saying Rangers are 2 or 3 years away from Celtic it had to be Ally McCoist, I'm sure his fantastic recruitment really helped us to develop as a club.
08 Sep 2016 08:57:08
He' puttin more pressure on that mob mate and less pressure on our players by saying that.
08 Sep 2016 09:23:29
Anyone but Ally should've said it mate. It would mean more from anyone else. His failed time at rangers will be highlighted for it instead of pressure being put on Rangers.
08 Sep 2016 09:33:24
Celtic**** Sorry Morning brain still on. Need Coffee.
08 Sep 2016 09:49:02
I think he should be keeping his trap shut. He made enough out of the club in his time as Rangers "manager" if you can call what he was doing managing the team.
08 Sep 2016 09:59:15

Do you really think they will feel under more pressure after the comments made but one of the worst managers in the clubs history? As a previous person said its down to his staggering inability as a manager that we may be 2 or 3 years away from them.
08 Sep 2016 10:41:49
Well said Biffo316 although why say he was one of the worst managers in our history? He was by far the worst.
Thank God we now have a man who understands how to set up a football team in charge.
08 Sep 2016 10:48:43
He was a an awful manager during the most awful time in the club's history.
Our own chairman even said that 2nd should be a minimum requirement this season or words to that effect. Nit really as controversial as some make out.
Anyway, if people realise the guys judgement was horrible as a manager, why do they take any notice of his judgement now? Doesn't make a bit of sense.
Let the great legend Ally McCoist have his "opinion" like everyone else.
08 Sep 2016 10:55:36
The guys a veteran of the old firm fixture and also our record goal scorer, he deserves an opinion.
I do agree though that his recruitment is the reason we have had to have such an overhaul the last few seasons. Let's remember Mccoist never had a Mcparland, and the players he did bring in should have served him and the Club better.
08 Sep 2016 11:10:29
Doubt we'd have Warburton without Ally.
We can thank him for that as well as being our all time top goalscorer.

How can you even try to defend McCoist as manager? You know we were around long before McPharland came to the club and have managed to pick up some decent players. Ally was a disgrace as manager with his atrocious non football approach, his inability to bring youth through and his ability to make sure the players he bought to the club went backwards.
08 Sep 2016 11:44:03
He is a Rangers legend but during his time as manager I lost so much respect for him I no longer value his footballing opinion! We could of won those leagues with youngsters instead he brought in Sandaza, Kevin Kyle and Ricky Foster on hefty wages! Assuming he had no gun held to his head at the time he lucky he escaped being sectioned!
08 Sep 2016 11:49:36
Onlyshowintown i also noticed durranty gave much the same opinion, great players both of them, mccoist had the opportunity to do as mw is now doing, mcpartland has been a gem, i thought mccoist would have down the route that mw has now done, using young player to get us back to the top league, if he had done so he could have walked away with his head held high.
instead he got older players (obviously mccoist thought the older guys would have got us back to the top league, but alas, even if the older guys had got us back to top league, we would now be looking for a full team as the old guys wouldnt have cut it, mccoist was more interested in the money (penny shares / wages)

Well said mate.
08 Sep 2016 12:31:04
I honestly think he has lost his Legend status.
08 Sep 2016 12:33:06
Think the club was going backwards regardless of who the gaffer was Biffo.
08 Sep 2016 14:53:01
The players went back with him in charge. He had the chance to sign Scot Allen but instead gave Kyle Hutton another contract think that pretty much sums him up.
08 Sep 2016 15:03:01
Alastair McCoist Rangers Legend, Dad, family man and good guy. Held us together through our darkest hours almost single handed. None of us know what he all went through. So he is and always will be a Rangers Legend.
08 Sep 2016 15:14:55
hate people that slate ally mcoist he done his best in what was a horrible time for the club most people didn't want to manage us and yes he was a manager not a good one but probs the only one that would have stuck around through all he put up with he was also our pr guy trying to help outwith the team and trying to keep everyone happy the guy deserves a standing ovation .
just because he took the money owed to him he is a bad guy go and take yerself fur a sh*te.
the guy in real life is funny and down to earth and always has time for people aswell as being the greatest goal scorer rangers ever will see.
people need to get a grip of themselves and let go the hatred they have towards him seriously acting like that other lot.
08 Sep 2016 15:34:12
big john u say he had the chance to do what warbs is doing now but as usual u don't know what u are talking about.
ally never had a chairmans support the way warbs has and he had to play with a lot of youngsters and scott allan wasn't a good player back then and I still think he is guff had one half of a good season and evrryone was saying oh he is brilliant am I the only one that didn't want him that badly.
08 Sep 2016 16:02:54
Biffo in one breath your saying he never gave youth a chance, the next your saying he should have binned a Rangers youth player and brought in Allen. He also gave McKay, Mcleod, Gasparato, Aird, Crawford, Welsh, Murduch, etc etc a chance, most of them never took it. MW's hardly tried any of our youth players (not a criticism but a fact) , he's simply been able to bring in good youth players due to his connections and having a good scout. These were luxurious Mccoist never had.
He has more of a right than anybody on here to give an opinion, given the fact he has served the Club most of his adult life, throughout our most successful era.
Great player, great guy imo (having met him) and bad manager, albeit one who had both hands tied behind his back due to circumstances. Move on, hatred will get you no where in life bar grey hair and a sour face.
08 Sep 2016 17:38:48
Mccoist was never manager material and his plundering money while club was sinking is something I will never forgive.
But look at the stats.
Warburton only done slightly better, not miles better. He does have a far more attractive style but the end results aren't that different.
I fear Warburton has made exactly the same mistakes mccoist made by flooding team with old names.
08 Sep 2016 17:49:34
Dunbar blue
Also endorsed Craig Whyte and Charles Green, lied to the fans about his salary and made an absolute mess of what should have been a fresh start for the club. Don't get me wrong great club player but awful manager.
08 Sep 2016 19:46:00
every manager we had under Murray endorsed him and he led us into this mess.
08 Sep 2016 19:04:08
James stirling i never mentioned scott allan, for by that mccoist had the chance to bring in players not under contract (anybody can do it) as they were free, but if you think mccoist was a good manager can i ask you why, I've always said on here mccoist was a legend, even if he never read his own contract details, a club legend as a goalscorer, but managment chocolate teapot,
09 Sep 2016 06:35:06
People who slag mccoist and his recruitment need to remember when he was in charge he didn't have a recruitment team, he didn't have the likes of McParland etc add that to working for a bunch of corrupt crooks he didn't have much of a chance. Look at Ally before administration we were en route for a league title. I do think it is unfair to judge ally with previous/ current rangers managers because non had the same circumstances. Not even close.

Hutton was awful and that's why he should have been binned. Can't believe you have come on and said that.
