A former England star has also branded the man at the centre of the storm an 'idiot' TERRIBLE LOOK Ally McCoist hits out at EMBARRASSING behaviour of club chief as he fumes at his 'absolutely ridiculous' actions RANGERS legend Ally McCoist couldn't believe what he was seeing on Sunday afternoon. In truth, nobody with eyes on the City Ground really could!

Despite that, the point confirmed the club's return to European football of some kind next season. What nobody saw coming was the incredible scene after full time when Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis marched onto the pitch to confront his OWN manager. Marinakis approached Nuno Espirito Santo before furiously gesturing towards the boss before storming back off the field. Advertisement The game was being broadcast live on Sky Sports, with stunned pundits left angered by Marinakis' behaviour with Gary Neville even suggesting Nuno should WALK from the club. The Forest boss later explained that Marinakis had been frustrated with the decision to allow striker Taiwo Awoniyi to keep playing on despite a collision with the post. Now, Ally McCoist has had his say on the matter. Appearing on talkSPORT Breakfast with ex-Aston Villa star Gabby Agbonlahor and the presenting duo railed against Marinakis' behaviour. Advertisement McCoist said: "I thought it looked absolutely ridiculous, looked really really poor. "I just thought it was a terrible, terrible look. It really was." Prince William made TNT Sports pundits 'nervous' before viral interview at PSG vs Aston Villa clash Raging former England international Agbonlahor then blasted:" The guy's an idiot. He's always hanging around the tunnel for the cameras, there on the pitch. "What are you doing anywhere near there? Sit in the chairman's lounge, have your prawn sandwiches. Enjoy that experience that chairmen do. Advertisement "They sit up there and leave it to the sporting director, managers, players. What are you doing on the pitch? "And second of all, everything is on camera. Poor Nuno Santo's thinking i cant react now. It belittled him. What's that got to do with you? Go afterwards to the mangers office. Who does he think he is?" McCoist then blasted: "It's embarrassing. That's the manager's domain. "If there was a mix up, a misunderstand, a mistake, that's for the manager to deal with then if you've got a problem you sit down and have a chat with the manager in private. Advertisement 4 "It was embarrassing to see him on the pitch. I thought Nuno handled it well. "If someone had offered Nottingham Forest European football they'd have bitten their hand off. "Now's the time for unity, for them to be together. I just thought it was shocking. Really embarrassing."

Ally McCoist tipped to appear on huge reality TV series as Rangers legend told ‘if you do it, you win it'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS legend Ally McCoist has tried his hand at many things within the footballing world. But it seems plenty of people are keen to see him branch out into the TV world! Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Could Ally McCoist head for the reality TV world? Credit: PA 3 Roman Kemp has tipped McCoist to win a HUGE reality show Credit: PA Towards the end of last year, talk reached fever pitch that McCoist was set to appear on the recent series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. He'd previously turned down an appearance on the hit ITV show in 2019 and again in 2022. Unfortunately for anyone keen to see Coisty getting stuck into things Down Under, he quickly confirmed he WOULDN'T be appearing. Amid the rife rumours at the end of last year, he said: "No, there's your answer. "It's brilliant, my wee mate Durranty phoned me, he says, 'What a decision you've got to make.' "'Sitting on the half way line in the best seats in the house, at the San Siro watching Inter Milan vs Man City or Inter Milan vs Arsenal, or eating a bag of spiders.' "It's not bad, is it?" Two people who certainly seem keen to see McCoist head for the jungle are his talkSPORT Breakfast co-presenter Alan Brazil and Roman Kemp, who appeared on the 2019 edition of I'm A Celebrity. BBC presenter Kemp joined McCoist and Brazil on talkSPORT Breakfast to discuss Arsenal's clash with PSG in the Champions League tonight. Kemp's a huge Arsenal fan, while McCoist is in Paris to cover the game for TNT Sports. Prince William made TNT Sports pundits 'nervous' before viral interview at PSG vs Aston Villa clash But Brazil couldn't help but turn the conversation to I'm A Celebrity before letting Kemp head off. Brazil asked: "Roman, you came third in 2019 in the jungle, has Mr McCoist got the patience for that? "Could he be in there? Should he be there? Could he win it?" Urging McCoist to take the leap and head onto the programme, Kemp said: "Literally, Ally please do it. "I will say from me, Ally, it is the best time you would ever have and you would be phenomenal." McCoist replied: 'Honestly?" Kemp then told the Scotland legend that he'd WIN the show if he went on it. He added: "Yeah - I think you would be amazing. I think you'd be the best TV and also Alan would be here you know voting for you to eat kangaroo parts.. "Put it this way, I'm going to say this first. I'm gonna say this first. If you do it, you win it." Laughing, McCoist replied: "That's very kind of you, that's a bit of a sweeping statement, Roman." Brazil then joked: "Roman, what you forgot to say is, did you mention 750 grand for getting in there? That might change his mind, don't worry about that." Undeterred, Kemp quipped: "ITV have got the money, don't worry." 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Rangers legend Ally McCoist leaves talkSPORT presenter speechless with cheeky dig at Celtic
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH Rangers toiling and Celtic clinching another title, Ibrox icon Ally McCoist doesn't have many reasons to have a bit of fun at the Hoops' expense at the moment. So it's perhaps little surprise that he decided to hoover up the chance to do so when it presented itself! 3 Ally McCoist's cheeky quip left Shebahn Aherne speechless Credit: YOUTUBE/TALKSPORT 3 Shebahn and Troy Deeney both saw the funny side Credit: YOUTUBE/TALKSPORT 3 McCoist couldn't resist the chance at a little pop at Celtic Credit: YOUTUBE/TALKSPORT Celtic have stormed to a fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title this season. Brendan Rodgers led his side to their latest success with a 5-0 thrashing of Dundee United at Tannadice. Just a few hours later, the Gers slumped to a 2-2 draw against St Mirren having twice been pegged back. With four games to go, and the final Old Firm clash on the horizon on Sunday, the newly-crowned champions have a 17-point lead over the Light Blues. There certainly hasn't been much to smile about for those of a Rangers persuasion, including club legend McCoist. So when an opportunity arose to have a little dig at the Hoops' expense arose, the 62-year old simply couldn't resist. With Jeff Stelling off, McCoist stepped-in to the main hosting chair on talkSPORT Breakfast this morning and he was joined by former Watford captain Troy Deeney. As always, the duo were joined throughout the show by fellow presenter Shebahn Aherne, who's a big Celtic fan. However, just before 7am, it wasn't the Hoops that were the topic of discussion. Instead, it was Arsenal Women's triumph of reaching the Champions League Final where they'll take on the might of Barcelona. Celtic have clinched the Premiership title - now Hatate could leave with SIX players coming in As the discussion came to an end, McCoist asked: "Where's the final?" The former striker's eyes began to light up as Shebahn told him: "Lisbon. a Lisbon final" McCoist then couldn't resist a cheeky comment as he brought the segment to a close. He said: "Absolutely brilliant achievement. "Congratulations to Arsenal's women's team. "Big, big ask going to Lisbon. "I can't think of any British team that's done anything in Lisbon in a European final." With a wry smile on his face, McCoist began to link to the next item. He said: "Coming up, Liverpool fans, the floor is yours this morning." Shebahn, speechless, simply replied: "Bless him. Wow!" McCoist then cheekily hit back with: "It's finished Shebahn!" The ex-Scotland striker's comment was, of course, a reference to Celtic's European Cup triumph and an apparent moment of selective memory! The Hoops' legendary Lisbon Lions side famously won the biggest prize in European football in the Portuguese city back in 1967.

A FYNE DAY Ally McCoist labelled 'Scotland's James Bond' as Rangers legend takes an Easter dip in freezing cold loch Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AFTER a hectic week covering football across Europe, Ally McCoist opted for a more chilled Easter weekend. And some fans reckon he's just completed the perfect audition to be the next James Bond! Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Ally McCoist took a trip to Loch Fyne Credit: instagram @allymccoist9 3 He decided to take a dip Credit: instagram @allymccoist9 3 The Rangers legend admitted it was 'fresh' Credit: instagram @allymccoist9 Rangers and Scotland legend McCoist, 62, was a busy man last week with his media duties. Alongside his presenting gig on talkSPORT Breakfast, Ally was in the commentary box for the huge Champions League showdown between Real Madrid and Arsenal at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night. 24 hours later, he was up in Bilbao to provide commentary and punditry for Rangers' encounter with Athletic Club at San Mames. After making it back to UK shores, McCoist headed to take in Darvel's clash with Drumchapel United on Saturday afternoon - not quite the Bernabeu! He would've good reason to head for Ayrshire with his son Argyll currently playing for the visiting side. Away from football, McCoist is known to enjoy exploring and often pops up at idyllic spots across Scotland. A keen fishing fan and lover of nature, the Ibrox icon is always happy when he's by the water! So it's perhaps little surprise that he headed for Loch Fyne this Easter weekend. Taking to Instagram, McCoist gave his 520,000 social media followers an inside look at his trip to the stunning Scottish spot. Filming himself standing by the loch, McCoist said: "Somebody will need to tell me that this isn't the best place in the globe to be right now, honestly.

"Absolutely beautiful, looks as though you could walk across it. Looks actually warm as well - should I find out?" Never one to shy away from a challenge, McCoist decided to take a dip! A second video shows him making his way into the water, with his immediate response being: "Fresh. Unbelivably fresh." A third video then shows McCoist back out of the water - but he immediately decides to get back in! He tells his followers: "Now the secret is, they tell me, is you've got to get back in. "It actually feels a bit better. It does feel a bit better! "CUT!" Fans were loving McCoist's content and some reckon he could've been auditioning for one of film's biggest roles! Producers are, of course, still on the lookout for a new James Bond after Daniel Craig's exit from the role in 2021. And fans couldn't help but notice similarities between McCoist heading in and out of the water and Craig's debut appearance as Bond in Casino Royale back in 2006. One fan wrote: "Scotland's James Bond! Happy Easter Ally." Another said: "Your audition for Bond is complete! Happy Easter Ally!" A third posted: "Reminded me of Daniel Craig coming out of the sea in Casino Royale." Other fans couldn't quite believe McCoist decided to brave the rather cold temperatures of the water! One comment read: "You're a brave man pal." Similarly, a second said: "Happy Easter Ally. You're a brave man!" A third posted: "I'll tell you this, it looks Baltic in that water!" While a further comment said: "Off your head boy!" McCoist replied: "Freezin' pal." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
