Ally McCoist has been trolled over Celtic fans singing 'Simply The Best' at Ibrox.
As the players walked onto the pitch at Ibrox for Sunday's Glasgow derby, Rangers' traditional walkout song rang out, although the 2,000 travelling supporters, decked in green and white, unusually sang along.
McCoist was quizzed on the incident live on talkSport this morning. Host Shebahn Aherne said: "You [McCoist] are the voice of Rangers, that's absolutely fair to say. Absolute legend of the club.

"You speak for and represent many fans.
"The players come out the tunnel, they're walking out to Simply The Best, and the 2,000 Celtic fans are almost singing louder than the Rangers fans.
"Because they're not really simply the best over the last few seasons, are you Ally?"
McCois replied and took the joke well: "I think it's brilliant, I think it's hilarious," he said.
"I don't have a problem with it at all, I thought it was an absolutely brilliant wind-up."
Celtic overtook Rangers' trophy haul with their Premier Sports Cup victory back in December last year, and they moved level with the Ibrox club on leagues won when they secured the Scottish Premiership title against Dundee United at Tannadice.
Brendan Rodgers' men could win a sought-after treble at the end of the month when they face Aberdeen at Hampden.
Forward Daizen Maeda, who was named PFA Scotland's Player of the Year over the weekend, is laser-focused on completing a domestic clean sweep: "We have the cup final, but we also have three league games to play, and it would be nice to show why we are the champions," he said.
"We will have to get the results there, finish the league strongly and then hopefully get the last title."
