peter huistra 1,740 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Mind being at the Scotland v Greece game and Ally was lining up to come on , was really just a wee boy at the time all these big hairy tartan army guys are huffing and puffing at him coming on , I had been shouting bring on Ally most of the game , bang within 60 seconds he'd scored was chuffed.

MisterC 12,270 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Have met him 3 times and hes been brand new with me every time. A really nice genuine guy. Shame about his managerial record but it summed up the way the club was being run. He'll always be my all time Rangers hero, all the goals he scored and bouncing back a good few times from adversity.

Wow, he was terrible in Shot at Glory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Love him for everything he ever done for us. On the radio he’s a riddy and all the ‘sutty’ ‘lenny’ shite is boke inducing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter was the manager and in total control , obviously if he seen things he wanted changed he'd change it to say he was a shite assistant manager when he was supposed to be in charge of the cup games which would then make him acting manager so really he was just a shite manager not a shite assistant.

Semantics. Many assistants take cup games without interference. We could blame Walter for encouraging him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 3 titles in a row and reached a European cup final with him as assistant many assistant managers never even get to a final or win a league so in my book going by that record he must have been doing something right.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Flew back from London to Glasgow 1 night and sat next to him. Spent the whole flight telling everyone stories and taking a genuine interest in the people around him. Didnt bother him in the slightest, a real gentleman. He was as disappointed as everyone else about how his managerial career turned out. I've chosen to forget all the shite and remember everything else.

McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I've met McCoist twice and along with Willie Henderson he's by far and away the best in person of all the ex-players I've met.

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ally McCoist, and John Greig, 2 of the Greatest Rangers of all time. However, two of the worst Rangers managers of all time also. History repeating itself...🙄🙄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewislaudrup 851 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I've put this story on here a couple time's but big guy that used to get on are supporter bus yeara ago had a great story. Him and his wife where at a tribute night up at a hotel in perthshire somewhere. So during the night he goes to the bar but there was a few people waiting to be served so he thought he would be quicker getting served at the other lounge bar. As he was getting served he noticed mccoist was there himself drinking so he went said hello. And he asked Ally how his son was getting on who was having health problems after birth. He said mccoist just opened up and he could tell he was having bad time as you would if your son was ill. Anyway after about 20 mins the guy get up goes to get the drinks to take back thru he get mccoist one but he charges the drinks to his room tab. They say bye and they get on with there evening. Next morning as the guys checking out he goes to square up his room tab which he had been getting drinks all night was told that the tab had been cleared and there was a letter. He opened it and it said thinks for taking the time to listen to me hope you had a great evening Ally Mccoist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The sheer joy he displayed when scoring against the scum always reflected how I felt. He knew how much we loved him for it and revelled in it. The wife has met him a few times and has a huge crush. Fortunately our wee lassie is my double.

fin8577 402 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Fantastic guy and a true Rangers playing legend. His time as a manager was absolutely terrible and was very frustrating to watch as a fan but as a pundit he is excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
