The nation's favourite pundit speaks to i about his career, managing boyhood club Rangers and his 'incredibly talented' colleague Laura Woods
In football’s divisive, tribal age it sometimes feels like the presence of McCoist in the commentary booth is the one thing fans can coalesce around.
McCoist isn’t on social media to lap up the adulation – although grown up sons Alex and Argyll monitor it and keep him in the loop – but reasons that his connection is simply because the ups and downs of four decades in football have done nothing to dint his enthusiasm for the game. “I think I can give a reasonable insight and I won’t kid people on if it’s a bad game but maybe even the bad games I enjoy more than most.”He is too modest. McCoist’s off-the-cuff lines have their own highlight reel. His particular favourite was during Euro 2020 before Scotland played England at Wembley.
“I really was! Sometimes particularly for Scotland games I’m perhaps not as unbiased as in other games but I like to think I call the game honestly, which is probably why England fans didn’t mind too much.”
