Ally McCoist shared his reflections on Rangers’ defeat in the Scottish Cup Final, where an Adam Idah goal in the 90th minute secured a victory for Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops in an outstanding Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double in his debut season back in charge.

McCoist, known for his playful on-screen persona, occasionally reveals his hidden bitter tendencies, overshadowed by his media work earnings. Despite his public image, there have been moments when his true feelings surface. Just recently, he openly criticized the new hate law and confessed to breaching it alongside 50,000 others during the Glasgow Derby game at Ibrox in April.

In the aftermath of the final, McCoist unleashed a tirade on talkSPORT, criticizing the performance of Scottish referees and VAR officials. While others, including managers, have raised similar concerns about officiating, McCoist’s frustration stemmed from his bias towards Rangers. His assessment of a controversial incident during the final, where Rangers were denied a goal, reflected his delusion as a fan rather than an impartial pundit.

McCoist’s fervent defense of Rangers’ claims ignored the clear foul committed by Raskin on the goalkeeper, dismissing the valid decision made by the officials. His outburst on talkSPORT exemplified his biased perspective, drawing a stark contrast to how a similar scenario would be judged in a neutral context like the FA Cup Final at Wembley.

Reflecting on past controversial decisions that favored Rangers, such as the incident involving the Albion Rovers goalkeeper being pushed into the net with the ball in his hands, McCoist’s comments highlight how personal bias can cloud one’s judgment in analyzing pivotal moments in football matches.

McCoist not only embarrassed himself but also displayed unmistakable hostility, tarnishing his ‘cheeky chappie’ image. While he may have a deep emotional tie to the Ibrox clubs as their initial manager, professionalism is expected from him in his punditry role. His recent behavior only reinforces the perception that he shares the bitterness and delusion of other Rangers supporters.
