Paranoid McCoist performs backward flip on shameful 71 match penalty run

Back in the springtime of 2020 Ally McCoist was overflowing in that cocktail of anger and paranoia.

With the world in lockdown and public events banned until further notice the former Rangers boss was outraged that SPFL clubs had voted to end the 2019/20 season early and decide the four leagues based on average points per match.

It was a tough call but it released the prize money pay outs to clubs unsure when they would see another paying supporter or serve up a hospitality package.

The decision also spared Steven Gerrard further humiliation, trailing Celtic by 13 points he had just watched Hamilton Accies win at Ibrox with James Tavernier explaining in the club programme how he couldn’t cope with being under pressure.

In common with most of the Gullible & Deluded McCoist turned a pandemic into a conspiracy to dent the Ibrox Tribute Act from a trophy that they had never won.

Given the facts of one club being on a 71 match run without having a penalty awarded against them in the SPFL McCoist slipped into his well served deflection mode.

Rather than address penalties conceded the cheeky chappy opted to talk about penalties being awarded to the clubs that attack most.
