Ally McCoist offers Celtic 'well done' in cheeky radio wind-up

Ally McCoist has offered his congratulations to Celtic over their latest title win. 

However, it wouldn't be the pundit of the year if the Rangers legend didn't do it in his own jovial way.

The former Ibrox boss, appearing on talkSPORT this morning, claimed he missed Ange Postecoglou's side clinching the Premiership.

The 60-year-old insisted that his weekend consisted of watching the King's Coronation and plenty of football - not the Celtic game.

One Hoops fanatic called up the radio station bright and early to discuss his side winning another league title with McCoist and radio host Laura Woods.

And while the caller has a great Sunday watching his team defeat Hearts, he admitted his luck with gambling wasn't quite there after Everton's thumping of Brighton yesterday evening.

That's when McCoist saw his opportunity to stick the boot into the Celtic fan.

He said: "I know but I'm so pleased his coupon got burst."

However, despite his initial cheeky response, McCoist in fairness did diplomatically wish the Celts fan all the best.

He added: "I am only joking, David, well done."

Meanwhile, Rangers star Alfredo Morelos would be a good fit for Everton.

That's the viewpoint of ex-Toffees attacker Kevin Campbell.

Michael Beale confirmed on Sunday that the striker would be leaving Ibrox this summer.

And with the out-of-contract player soon to be a free agent, Campbell reckons his former side could do much worse than sign the Colombian.

The 26-year-old is a proven goalscorer in Europe and has, over the piece of his time in Glasgow, been a constant threat up top domestically too.

And Campbell insists his "edge" is what fans at Goodison want to see.

Speaking to Goodison News he said: “I think Morelos is a good player, he’s got the type of game that the Goodison crowd would like. There’s an edge to him.

“The key is, can you create opportunities for him? If you can then he looks like he could take chances. That one might be a little bit more of a long shot, but for someone like him, it’s going to be difficult to just go anywhere.

“That might be a smart shout, to be honest, it might just be a smart shout because he likes to prove himself and he’s got that edge.”
