Ally McCoist has revealed the extent of his rift with the directors of Sevco.
The cheeky chappy hasn’t set foot inside Ibrox since Dave King’s takeover two years ago and collected every penny of his gardening leave despite the return of the club to RRM.
After the 2016 AGM it was revealed that McCoist hadn’t voted on a resolution that would have allowed the board to convert the current soft loans into shares.
That news set the most hysterical element of the Ibrox support against their former hero who was given his shares at one penny each by Charles Green while loyal fans forked out 70p in the 2012 share issue before watching the price dive to 20p each.

McCoist has been full of contradictions as he backed the various regimes at Ibrox from Craig Whyte to Charles Green and onto Graham Wallace who used to work for Manchester City.
He also famously claimed that he never checked the detail on his contract before giving 12 months notice and invoking his £800,000 a year gardening deal.
The decision not to back the board at the 2016 AGM is one that still causes fury among many Sevco fans with their former hero claiming the weakest of excuses for failing to vote with ‘the good bears’.
“I was one of the 25 per cent who never voted as I was out of the country and a lot more high-profile people at Rangers, people who are close to my heart, also never voted,” McCoist explained to the Daily Record clearly unaware of using a postal vote or proxy. In 2014 he bottled out of voting by giving his vote to a supporters club in East Kilbride
“Out of the 75 per cent who voted, 26 per cent voted against resolution 11. When Dave King (chairman) and the board were getting voted in (2015) I turned up at Ibrox to vote for that board, strongly against the advice of my lawyer who, believe it or not, wouldn’t talk to me for 10 days.”
With today’s news it’s expected that McCoist will again ensure that he’s out the country as the people come to terms with his latest betrayal.
