Rangers have been in the media a lot lately, wether it has been for fiddling the tax man, going in to administration or for the latest fine and transfer embargo.
What Rangers need at this time is someone to stand up and give their honest opinion on the matter, someone who has a responsibility to take a mature approach to the situation?
Up steps Ally McCoist.
The Rangers fans have been praising this man, (maybe not for his managerial skills) but for the way he has conducted himself in his clubs time of need. He has acted maturely, calmly and always taken the moral high ground when answering questions asked by the media.
So when Rangers were hit with a £160,000 fine and a transfer embargo preventing them from signing any players for 12 months everyone expected Mr Ally 'Dignity' McCoist to come out with some great statement about how he still isn't walking away and how Rangers will pull through this tough time. Of course this new obstacle on the rocky road to liquidation would seriously dent any hopes Rangers have of finding a buyer before it's too late but all of the laptop loyal and Billy's and Billyette's out there still expected a rallying call from their glorious manager.
A rally call they did get (of sorts). Ally 'The Suit' McCoist was quoted saying - **'Plain and simply, I think it is an absolutely shocking decision' 'This decision could kill our football club, simple as that. Make no mistake about it' 'Who are these people? I want to know who these people are' 'I'm a Rangers supporter and the Rangers supporters and the Scottish public deserve to know who these people are, people who are working for the SFA. Make no mistake about it, this is an SFA decision. They have appointed the panel so therefore they are working for the SFA, but who are they? I think we have a right to know who is handing out this punishment to us, I really do'**
Now Ally, we are sure as soon as this foolish, childish outburst left your mouth that more than a few of the laptop loyal would be on the world wide interweb trying to find out who was on the SFA panel. Would they have done this had you not said that, probably, but it would have been a hell of a lot less.
Is Ally McCoist wholly to blame for not one but all three of the SFA panel receiving threats? No. Did he play a major part in it? Yes.
The day after this happened and it came in to light that threats had been made to the three panel members we were expecting some sort of apology from Mr Ally 'Dignity' McCoist but what did he come out and say?
Well when asked if he had any regrets over his comments he said - **'Not at all. I think a lot of people have misinterpreted my statement as some form of apology. It's anything but an apology. I stand by everything I've said. In fact, I was delighted to see Eric Drysdale come out and disagree with my comments. I've got nothing but the utmost respect for him now because I know who the gentleman is. I still disagree with the panel and their decision but I fully appreciate the fact that I know who the gentleman is now'**We put it to you Mr Ally 'aged ten years in a few months' McCoist, now that you know who was on the panel, what are you going to do next? What is your next step? How could knowing who these people are possibly help Rangers.
All you have done in this childish act of sheer irresponsibility is put at risk three people who were only trying to do thier job. You have helped put them and their innocent families at risk.
If this had been Neil Lennon, can you imagine?
Good job Ally. You have made a fool of yourself and continue to do so by not apologising to the three people in question.
