I think it's entirely unfair to compare the record to Alex Ferguson who's spent what? 24 years in the Premiership with Man United and competing on all sorts of Champions League fronts for most of them seasons ... compared with McCoist who's been doing a two horse SPL and the lowest tier of Scottish football ...and the fact that McCoist only has 4% more than him isn't great reading for that matter either.

You cannot be serious? Each an every one of they managers managed against top level opposition, Ally has been up against Scotlands weakest teams for most of Rangers managerial career. It's obvious his stats are going to be high, i wouldn't read much if anything into them. Perhaps you are clutching at straws?

Well that sums up how shite a manager he is, majority of his games have been against part time teams where yes at the time we were under a transfer ban but if you remember we were still sending out our younger players to 1st and 2nd division sides on loan as they were not required by the 1st team.

We should have only dropped a few points last year regardless of what players were playing after all they are full time professionals.

Aye but not all of his managerial career was at Manchester United there were spells at 3 Scottish clubs where the win ratio was even less than McCoists and it took him 7 years until 1993 to win win the league !

Jesus…

Was SAF managing in the bottom tier of Scottish football with a budget that dwarfed everyone else? Did he have a team of full time professional players up against part time hammer chuckers?

If not then shut the history book, put down the calculator and go for a wee lie down chief.
