Rangers legend Ally McCoist has cheeky response when asked about Celtic being relegated

Rangers legend Ally McCoist gave a cheeky response when asked whether he would like to see rivals Celtic relegated.

McCoist was Rangers manager when they dropped into the old Scottish Third Division after entering liquidation in 2012.

McCoist set the wheels in motion but left his post as Rangers boss in 2014 after guiding the club back to the Scottish Championship

The Ibrox hero steered the club back from mire, leading them to back-to-back promotions and a place in the Championship before calling time on his stint in 2014.

Times have since changed for Rangers who recaptured the Scottish Premiership title in 2021 under the guidance of Steven Gerrard before agonisingly losing the Europa League final on penalties to Eintracht Frankfurt a year later.

The Gers remain in the hunt for another title this season and face Celtic in the Scottish Cup final next month.

However, when asked whether he would ever like to see Celtic suffer a similar fate to that of Rangers, McCoist provided an honest account with a typically cheeky take.
