Ally McCoist has made his first official comment since Rangers went into liquidation- by denying that the club he managed last season is dead!
While Charlie Green attempts to enforce TUPE legislation the former Rangers manager has hit out at players for exercising their right to move on.
Rhys McCabe and Sone Aluko have both stated that they will not join Green’s Sevco 5088 club with other more high profile players expected to do likewise.
McCoist was fulsome in his praise for the players last season when they took a 75% wages cut to avoid blanket redundancies but was unable to contain his anger and disbelief at the latest developments in Green’s troubled reign.
“Players have their own decisions to make and I understand that,” McCoist told the Rangers website. “But the question they have to ask themselves is do they want to play for Rangers or not?
“The formation of a new company is not the issue. The players would be playing for the same club – Rangers – in front of the same fans.
“If players want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the Rangers supporters.
“I don’t want Rangers fans to be reading over the next few days how devastated players are about having to go. The fans deserve better than that. They are not daft.
“I can understand if a player has the chance to go somewhere else and there is uncertainty about which division we will be playing in.
“If that is the case that is understandable but they should not expect sympathy from Rangers supporters if they use the transfer of contracts as an excuse.”
He added: “After all that the club and the fans have gone through, the supporters, above all, deserve the truth and should not have to listen to stories trying to sugar-coat the possible departure of players from the club.
“The players were magnificent last season and made great sacrifices and that will never be forgotten.
“Now, we have to look forward and everyone should be upfront and honest about their intentions.”

Super Ally Goes Ballistic Denys Rangers Necrosis
Super Ally Goes Ballistic Denys Rangers Necrosis is by far the funniest line Ive read this year!!! lol HH
Excellent mate
“But the question they have to ask themselves is do they want to play for Rangers or not?
That’ll be a NO then!
Naw Ally the fans are not daft! They are really really stupid!
Both Gretna and Third Lanark believed to be interested in signing Aluko!
If they are the same club, then hopefully they’re in possesion of a couple of 100 million to pay that clubs creditors.
Excellent point! But you have to think mccoist is clutching at straws here.the truth is he is trying to convince himself, just as Joe McHugh said. Sally is in denial.
You have to question if in fact he is starting to go senile. His head has to be hurting, or of course he could be on something too!
yeah, a hiding to fkn nothing!!
Exactly!!!!!
Fat Sally speak with forked tongue….
The players would be playing for the same club – Rangers – in front of the same fans….A bit early for Panto season Sally ???
If players want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the Rangers supporters…..Like telling them it is the same club, just a different league, new name, new badge, new sponsors, no history, no credit,no Europe
The fans deserve better than that. They are not daft……Clearly he hasn’t spoken to many of them fully paid up members of the lonely brain cell brigade – They are much worse than daft.
I can understand if a player has the chance to go somewhere else and there is uncertainty about which division we will be playing in….Who’s fault is that Sally ? Just tell Green to accept the 3rd Division if he is lucky.
If they use the transfer of contracts as an excuse….was that not the EXACT reason they negotiated reduced transfer fee’s…now even better than can go for HEE HAW
After all that the club and the fans have gone through, the supporters, above all, deserve the truth and should not have to listen to stories trying to sugar-coat….so WHY try to LIE to them, it’s the SAME club when clearly it isn’t. What about what ALL the other clubs have gone through for the last 10-15+ years due to Financial doping / cheating to win tainted titles…Do THEY not deserve the truth, still to hear ANY sort of apology from ANYONE at Ibrox.
The guy is simply a……………lost for words!

“If players want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the Rangers supporters” Another comedy line from swally yes the players should show their Honesty quite right honest swally! Well he did play for the old dignity fc for years!!!
“they (the rangers players) should not expect sympathy from Rangers supporters”
Is this little eejit using threatening behaviour in the same way he did with the SFA judicial panel tribunal?
Sneaky fat prick that he is
“The formation of a new company is not the issue. The players would be playing for the same club – Rangers – in front of the same fans.”
Ally, c’mere son. Ah’ve got somethin’ tae tell ye……..
Has fat swally ever been drug tested, what is it with these f#kwits at ipox, dead is dead, no same club, same ground, same fans, fat swally will obviously move tae ZOMBIE BIGOT FC for the simple reason, WHO THE F#K WOULD EMPLOY HIM.
his managerial C.V. reads.. was assistant manager for years n years, got fulltime position, lost all euro games in first rounds, lost all Scottish cup games after 2 rounds, blew a 15point lead in the league in space ov 7 weeks, lost league by 20points, first ever manager ov rangers tae take em tae administration, first ever manager ov rangers tae take em intae liquidation, LAST EVER MANAGER OV RANGERS… non thats impressive enough tae get ur name in the rankers history books Awrite.. welldone fat boy.. HAIL HAIL, GOD BLESS IE CELTIC+
This whole story is brilliant, they have always been deluded & it’s fun watching them coming up with ‘tales’ to explain everything.
Sally trying to bully the players, shocking & shameful. Sevco have indeed stole from the the old regime. Bullying to get there way is one thing that hasn’t died in 2012. Sally should be happy he was the LAST 1872-2012 Rankers manager.
That fat pest mccoist is doing my heed in more than just a bit. Those players have no need to be at his beck and call anymore. Rangers are dead, he is the manager of nothing, his words mean nothing…
HH
At least their not walking away ally…..THEY’RE RUNNING let the infighting begin as the great Celtic manager once said THIS IS NOT THE END THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. rats ship sinking comes to mind . Hail hail
Ally McCoist is not a grown up. He is a 48 year old child. He has not understood a single thing that has happened over the past five months.
That is why he says these ruidiculous things. The truth scares him too much. He has spent a life-time at Rangers, which we now know was a land of make believe. How can he be expected to understand the real world. Lying, thieving, cheating and covering things up are all he knows.
This entire organisation have been in denial about their whole history for decades. He simply does not understand reality, but he has never had to.
He is to be pitied rather than despised, although he is proving to be a very nasty, vindictive and potentially dangerous character.
He appears to be urging Rangers supporters to turn against anyone who wants to leave, while staying will ruin their careers.
Another little runt just like sir wattie a DEAD CLUB with no DIGNITY.
Green should take them to the USA and they could play at never neverland cos icant see them playing in scotland
Rangers talking to the fans:
“We ARE the same rangers that played last season, we ARE the same club that holds 54 titles etc…”
Rangers talking to the SFA:
“We’re NOT the same Rangers, please dont punish us for what we did! pleeeease aaaaahhhhhh MAAAMMY!”
just one ? have the SFA given them a Licence yet to play in the scottish leagues or not? as they are a new team
rabblle rowser!!!! is this not another i demand to know! speech are players gonna get bullets and bombs sent to them if they dont sign up to ra peeeeeeeple!!!!
