Ange Postecoglou watches his biggest Rangers admirer break cover over snidest of snipes – 'I've unbelievable sympathy'
Ally McCoist has defended the former Celtic boss as Spurs fans call for the axe to fall In a divided city where friendship is often a non-starter Ange Postecoglou has found an ally in the most unlikely of places. The former Celtic boss lost another game with Tottenham Hotspur as Nottingham Forest nabbed all three points from London on Monday night. Spurs have now lost 18 games in the Premier League, sitting 17th in the table, and have crashed out of both domestic cups. The Europa League is all that is left but many White Hart Lane faithful think enough is enough and Ange should head for the exit door sooner rather than later. Enter Rangers legend Ally McCoist. The Ibrox favourite has broken bread with his opinions over Ange on many occasions. The 62-year-old was pictured embracing Ange at Ibrox in April 2022 ahead of an Old Firm derby. On the other side of it, McCoist later joked about driving the Aussie coach down to take the Leeds job in 2023 to give his beloved Rangers a better shot in the Viaplay Cup final. Playing devils' advocate on talkSPORT pundits duties, McCoist batted for Ange once again during a heated tongue-and-cheek debate with Spurs-mad presenter Abbi Summer and Gabriel Agbonglahor. Summers: "We might win the Europa League. If we have got to finish 16-17th and we win the Europa League we will take it. McCoist: "Right so you say you will take it. Where do you stand on it if it is good enough to keep Ange in a job? Summers: "He's got to go Al - are you mental?!" McCoist: "Wait a minute. When was the last time you won anything? And you want to sack a man - say he wins it - you want him sacked? "So he wins you the Europa League. Do you want to get rid of him? How can that be?! "You've had Mourinho, Pochettino - you've had them all - Conte. He's got to [keep him]," he concluded before sharing a cheeky smile at Summers. She replied: "You don't even mean that, sip your coffee in piece." McCoist added: "I have got unbelievable sympathy for Tottenham fans. I don't want it to sound sycophantic - I actually want them to win it [the Europa League]. "For the fans most of all to be honest."
