Rangers legend Ally McCoist competing with Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville for punditry award

Rangers legend Ally McCoist has been shortlisted for the pundit of the year at Football Supporters Association Awards.

The 59-year-old former Gers and Scotland striker has proved a huge hit with fans across the UK for his co-commentary and punditry duties across a range of platforms, appearing regularly on talkSPORT radio and Sky Sports.

And his appearances on ITV during the summer's Euro 2020 tournament also endeared him further to fans outside Scotland for his enthusiastic and insightful commentary. McCoist has also appeared on BT Sport, Premier Sports and Amazon Prime.

East Kilbride's famous son faces competition from Manchester United hero Gary Neville and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who both appear on Sky Sports' coverage of the English Premier League.

Former Arsenal Women and England international Alex Scott is also nominated, following her appearances on the BBC as Football Focus host and a regular contributor during Euro 2020.

Manchester United hero Rio Ferdinand and Newcastle United icon Alan Shearer, who have appeared predominantly on the BBC's Match of the Day coverage and live broadcasts during the Euros, complete the shortlist.

Online voting is open for the awards and you can cast your vote here.
