Rangers legend Ally McCoist has been clipped celebrating a Scotland try at the rugby in the nation’s controversial Six Nations defeat to France.
The legendary former Ibrox striker is more famous for his exploits on the football pitch but Super Ally was in Edinburgh cheering on the Bravehearts at Murrayfield.
But it wasn’t to be for Scotland as they fell to a 20-16 defeat to the French, the home nation being controversially denied a game-winning try in the last minute of the game.
That didn’t stop the celebrations from the stands in Murrayfield during the match, with Ally McCoist clipped celebrating Ben White’s try in the match.
Ally McCoist cheers on Scotland in rugby crowd
A proud Scotsman, Ally McCoist doesn’t just fly the saltire for Rangers as a British media personality but also the game in general north of the border.
One of the most well-loved commentators and pundits in the game, Ally McCoist is a regular across a number of broadcasting outlets.
The striker’s first love has always been the famous Glasgow Rangers, for whom McCoist remains the club’s greatest ever goalscorer (355).
It’s a feat which is unlikely to be repeated as the former Rangers manager changes tact in his career and returns to the media.
Cheering on Scotland during the rugby here, you can bet it won’t be the last time Super Ally is in the crowd at the Six Nations with the national side getting full-backing from the Rangers legend.
Rangers know all about referee controversy
Rangers fans will be glad to hear that it’s not just football where the officials seem to make a mess of things.
With Scotland controversially denied a late winner v France, football fans everywhere will sympathise with the cruel decision-making in sport.
Interestingly, Scottish referee Willie Collum returned to duties involving Rangers over the weekend when the whistler took charge of the clash with Ayr United.
Rangers had publicly berated the referee for a series of poor VAR decisions in the Old Firm defeat to Celtic in December.
Not that the clash with Scott Brown’s side at Ibrox passed without controversy…
