News about Ally McCoist

The 69-year-old, who was the frontman of the hugely popular Sky Sports Gillette Soccer Saturday show from 1994 until 2023, picked up the honour at Buckingham Palace today (right). He shook hands with the Princess Royal (left) who officially made him a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to sport, broadcasting and charity. Stelling said: 'I'm doing a job that most people would give an arm and a leg for. So whilst I've had a wonderful and fortunate career, I'm glad that the MBE is in recognition more than anything of the charity work.' Stelling started his career as a reporter for The Hartlepool Mail and built himself up to become the most iconic football presenter in the UK.

The club are planning for a brutal fire sale to cleanse the squad and free up funds for new signings. Only three players are said to be safe. The club's new hierarchy, led by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and incoming CEO Omar Berrada, will be brutal. A lack of Champions League revenue only exacerbates the need to sell. McCoist believes a particular player has to move on for the benefit of himself and the club. He also believes the star's body language betrays that he is unhappy.

Ally McCoist believes Mo Salah should have vented his fury with Jurgen Klopp in the dressing room and not on the touchline after their quarrel at West Ham. He also offered his advice to Salah and Liverpool in how they should sort his future, while Peter Crouch sympathised with how he would be 'fuming' for being dropped.

Ally McCoist (inset) has told Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson to be 'braver' after the 22-year-old fluffed a close-range headed effort in Tuesday's Premier League clash against rivals Arsenal. Jackson was given the task of being Chelsea's main source of goals - in the absence of Cole Palmer who missed the match with illness - and spurned a huge scoring opportunity.

The striker, on loan from Wolves , had the chance to make it 3-0 in stoppage time when selflessly Cyriel Dessers teed him up just metres from goal - instead of going for a hat-trick. But Silva raised his arms in the air and took a bizarre tumble despite being under no pressure and having an easy chance to finish, with only a defender on the line. Ally McCoist offered the possibility that he fell because the ball was played behind him and he got caught up, but fans have been quick to brand him as a diver.

Hundreds of police officers are being paid overtime every day to deal with the slew of protests sparked by Scotland's new hate crime legislation. According to reports, up to 40 police officers have been called in to work extra hours every day since Monday in an attempt to get to all the ones submitted. Each officer is being paid time and a third, sparking concerns that overtime payments could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds out of an already stretched budget.

Fans of football have praised Antony's brilliant assist for Alejandro Garnacho's second goal in Manchester United's 4-3 loss to Chelsea on social media. Chelsea had been held to a 2-0 lead thanks to Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer, as the game seemed to be getting away from the visitors. However, Erik ten Hag's team had Garnacho and captain Bruno Fernandes to thank after two goals made it 2-2 by halftime, as the Red Devils fought back.

After giving up a penalty against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Ally McCoist slammed Manchester United winger Antony. Before Antony brought down Marc Cucurella in the box, the Blues led 1-0 thanks to Conor Gallagher's early goal.

Ally McCoist's remarks, according to Chris Sutton, after he said that police should arrest him and 48,000 Rangers supporters for breaching Scotland's new hate crime legislation at the Old Firm match with Celtic, were "reckless and irresponsible." Sutton, a former Celtic player, responded to McCoist's remarks on Mail Sport's It's All Kicking Off podcast ahead of the crunch derby match on Sunday. McCoist, a former Scotland and Rangers striker, had referred to Scotland's new law as "madness" this week, pointing out that those attending Ibrox this weekend will be at a high risk of breaking it.

According to reports, there have been no talks between government officials and the Scottish FA (SFA) over how the laws will impact football games, and no new information has been given to police before Sunday's game. After this weekend's clash, Thomas Ross KC predicted that Police Scotland would be 'inundated' with hate crime reports from Celtic fans of sectarian songs performed by the home crowd, where away fans are barred from attending concerts for "safety and security reasons. This week, Ally McCoist was chastised after police told him that they'd have to arrest him and 48,000 other Rangers supporters to enforce the hate crime law, which he dismissed as "madness." He later said that he would not be going to the game at all.

After admitting to offending people with his remarks on Scotland's new hate crime law, Ally McCoist has updated his plans and will not attend the Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic on Sunday. Act 2021, the Hate Crime and Public Order, came into operation on Monday, triggering a new crime of'stirring up hatred' relating to age, sickness, sexual orientation, transgender identification, or being intersex. On Tuesday, McCoist, a former Rangers player, referred to the new rule as'madness,' and said he and his fellow Rangers fans were likely to risk breaking it if it was enforced.

Since the tense new laws came into force on Monday, Calum Steele, the former Scottish Police Federation's general secretary, said that around 3,800 cases had been submitted. It comes as police announced that they would not take steps against Harry Potter author Meghan Potter after she posted a string of tweets condemning transgender people, prompting a scathing complaint from India Willoughby who accused police officers of getting'stardust in their eyes.'

On Monday, Harry Potter (left) dared Police Scotland to arrest a string of influential trans people as males before the police told her that no action would be taken - as the new regulations were passed outside Holyrood (right). Ms Rowling supported the decision (inset): "I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak out for the truth and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement, and I think all women, regardless of height or financial means, will be treated equally under the same umbrella." She warned the police that if they pursued lower-profile women for making similar remarks, they'd be able to act immediately.'

While charges against Harry Potter were published, police have investigated her tweets against Scotland's new hate crime laws, which have been already slammed by footballer Ally McCoist, and determined that they did not breach the rules. In a series of tweets reported to the police, Ms Rowling, a well-known gender campaigner, arrested prisoners, and celebrities, as'men.' Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, 'People should not be prosecuted for posting simple facts on biology,' sparking a social media storm.'

In this Sunday's pivotal Old Firm derby with Celtic, Ally McCoist has attacked Scotland's new hate crime legislation and says he wants to defame it. Act 2021 (Scotland) was a new offence of'stirring up hatred' relating to age, disability, sexual orientation, transgender identity, or being intersex. After JK Rowling described several transgender people as men, the police have already compelled her to arrest her if they suspect she has committed an offense.

Tyldesley's remark at Molineux, where Coventry won in a dramatic five-goal match, garnered praise for his coverage of the dramatic recovery, as well as a visible mockery of Kate Middleton's expense. Tyldesley posted photos from the commentary box alongside Ally McCoist, saying, 'Maybe the last FA Cup tie I'll ever call.' Thank you for the big finish!!'

Ally McCoist lauded Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard after he delivered a moment of brilliance to assist Leandro Trossard in the Gunners' opening goal against Porto on Tuesday. The legendary Scotland player praised the Gunners skipper's build-up play and referred to the midfielder as a "genius" for his service.

Chelsea has rebranded 'billion pound bottle jobs' for their appearance in extra time against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, according to Gary Neville. The pundit's pre-planned jibe has been a major talking point ever since, with Mauricio Pochettino biting back and declaring the quip'unfair' in a seven-minute monologue. Simon Jordan slammed Neville "and his little Overlap band," while Gary Lineker and Ally McCoist slammed him.

After Chelsea's agonizing loss to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, Ally McCoist has retaliated, branding Chelsea 'billion pound bottle jobs'. The Blues were left heartbroken after Virgil van Dijk's extra time header, just minutes before the match was set to go to penalties, secured a 1-0 victory for Liverpool and shattered the Blues' hopes of a first trophy under Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea's silverware this season may have been a big achievement, considering that the Argentine side is currently 11th in the Premier League, and they came close to defeating an injury-plagued Liverpool.

During a sit down with Laura Woods, Ally McCoist got his names mixed up accidentally naming a Premier League player as 'world class.' Wood begged McCoist to name which players in the top flight fall into that category and was pleasantly surprised by her reply. McCoist pondered the question for a few seconds before stating, 'You should see guys like Zaha, world class.'

During Chelsea's 4-1 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday, Rio Ferdinand said VAR were incorrect to deny Chelsea two penalties, and that those calls may have changed the game's dynamic. On Wednesday evening, Jurgen Klopp's side defeated Chelsea at Anfield, with Mauricio Pochettino stating that the Blues were clearly the better team on the night. Chelsea was denied two penalties during a Premier League match, but Ferdinand maintained that those two chances might have changed the game's tone.

Ally McCoist has heaped praise on young starlet Conor Bradley after watching him flourish in Liverpool's match against Chelsea on Wednesday evening. Bradley started the game against Mauricio Pochettino's side, playing 65 minutes before being called off by Jurgen Klopp.

Caicedo has failed to integrate at Chelsea following his British record transfer fee move from Brighton in the summer, with Ally McCoist calling him the season's flop. He will face the team he refused to join the Blues on Wednesday after Liverpool agreed to pay Brighton for the Ecuadorian's transfer. Zidane was a rookie with Real Madrid in 2001, but it took him a long time to adjust to the club's expectations before finding his feet.

Caicedo joined Chelsea in a £15 million contract in the summer, after rejecting league leaders Liverpool's bids to sign for the blues. Since the move, the 22-year-old has played for 26 games for the Blues, but he has yet to recap the form he showed on the south coast, which has earned him to be one of the most expensive players in Premier League history. In what has been a difficult season for the Blues so far, he has partnered Enzo Fernandez, who saved Chelsea £107 million from Benfica last season, in midfield for a significant season.
