£10m to spend in January → Ally McCoist will be given a £10 million January transfer budget, courtesy of controversial Mike Ashley. Ashley has all but confirmed he will front the funds, with an Ibrox source telling us the board have been told to “use the funds effectively to push the team through to a cup final and back to the Premier League.” The source said the decision was highly influenced by Ashley’s close friend & Ibrox adviser Derek Llambias, who believes committing these funds to the club will not only strengthen the team, but strengthen Ashley’s position with Rangers supporters. .

I haven't seen this spoken about yet, but what did you think of Ally talking on Eklipse Sports Radio's Football Show. It's a very funny interview, and well worth a listen.

Ally McCoist has quipped he would have bet on Ibrox not being chosen by the SPFL as the venue for the 2014 Scottish League Cup final. Celtic Park will host the fixture on March 16, with Aberdeen taking on Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the trophy. Asked if he was surprised his club's ground had been overlooked for the occasion, McCoist replied: "Not surprised at all. "I did say to the chief executive that if we were allowed to bet, which of course we are not, get a few quid on the cup final not being at Ibrox. "I just didn't think it would be. It was my own opinion. "I think obviously Neil [Doncaster], or indeed whoever is running the SPFL, made the decision and they'll stick by it." In an interview with STV on Wednesday, SPFL chief executive Doncaster said Ibrox couldn't be used because it was likely a live game would be played at the ground the day before, causing logistical problems for television companies. McCoist refuted that suggestion, saying: "I've worked with television long enough that I know these boys are unbelievable at their job in terms of de-rigging and setting up for games. "Come on. That doesn't wash with me and I don't think it washes with you either." http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/263136-ally-mccoist-id-have-bet-on-ibrox-not-being-picked-for-league-cup-final/

At the beginning of last season Ally had decided to set the team up with expansive, attractive, passing football, played Andy Little through the middle from the start, packed the team with the promising youngsters from Murray Park and on the final day of the season gained enormous plaudits for building the foundations of a team for the future who played in a set style that was replicated throughout the club, yet failed to win the league on goal difference?
