Ally McCoist - Rangers Number 9

Quite literally the greatest goalscorer Scotland has ever produced Alistair Murdoch McCoist signed for Rangers in the summer of 1983 when I wasn't even 1 year old

I always remember by dad telling me about how things could've been so different for Ally as the first few months were tough for the young striker but like many other great Rangers players he showed that mental toughness to battle through the tough periods to show his true class by scoring goals that would take Rangers to League titles & Cup successes

My earliest memories of Ally were of him banging in goals but he had so much more about him he wasn't afraid to have a pop at his teammates & we will all remember the time where McCoist & Gascoigne nearly came to blows but that was what made him a great his desire to win at all costs something that Rangers fans expected.

Ally will go down as the clubs best ever number 9 & I doubt anyone will ever get close to the amount goals he scored.
