ALLY McCoist celebrates his 60th birthday today. Here are some of his most famous quotes from the life and times of a Rangers legend.
"I'll play for Rangers as long as I can, then spend the rest of my life being depressed." Ally McCoist on his Rangers career.
“Mark and I, with the greatest of respect, were very comfortable domestically and we felt we had the beating of just about everybody. There were some good partnerships in Europe as well, but Mark was big, strong, aggressive and he could play. I would class myself as more of an out and out finisher. So, as a partnership, it was terrific, and the goals we got were incredible." McCoist on his partnership with Mark Hateley.
“Maybe one or two people having a wee fly kick. I would suggest to them to have a right good kick just now because we won’t be where we are for long. Let's just say, while we are down there, we are having a look up and we are seeing what we are seeing." Ally McCoist during Rangers' troubles in 2012.
"It's a wee bit like taking the microphone from Frank Sinatra." Ally McCoist on taking over from Walter Smith as Rangers manager.
"This is my club, the same as it is for thousands and thousands of Rangers supporters, and we don't do walking away." Ally McCoist after administration at Ibrox.
“Sandy was phenomenal for me to tell you the truth. He used to come up into the office at Murray Park and we would have a cup of tea and a right good moan at each other! We would say ‘how the f*** have we got ourselves into this mess?!’ But, in all seriousness, he was brilliant for me, absolutely brilliant. I owe him so much." Ally McCoist on Sandy Jardine's influence.
"I could sit here and tell you about Walter Smith until the cows come home, about how good a manager, how good a coach and a football man he was. But what I will say he was the best husband, father, friend, everything you would expect from a man. I can't tell you how devastated I am." Ally McCoist pays tribute to Walter Smith.
